Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cherry tomatoes
1 cup
Red onion
1 medium-sized, cut into chunks
Green bell pepper
1, cut into chunks
Red bell pepper
1, cut into chunks

2 tablespoons
Olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the tempeh cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the flavors to fully absorb.
