Also great topped
Heat a frying pan on low-medium heat with a tiny bit of oil. Add the chopped onion and begin to caramelize. Add the tempeh, and finally the pecans. Take off the burner once everything is sauteed and set aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
Start by tossing washed greens in a salad bowl, then cut up the pear, cucumber and avocado. Finally, add in the onion, tempeh and pecan mixture. Toss and serve, or cover and refrigerate. Keeps fairly well for 1-2 days.
