Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Slice tempeh crosswise into thin strips and place in a medium bowl. Add bell peppers and barbecue sauce to the bowl with the tempeh and gently stir to coat.

  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add tempeh and bell peppers in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until tempeh is browned and warmed through, 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. To assemble the salads, divide romaine, cucumber, and tomatoes between plates or bowls. Top with barbecue tempeh and peppers, and drizzle with dressing.
