Servings:	1
Author Notes:	Prep Time: 15 minutes (includes marinating) Cook Time: 10 minutes Stacked up high and filled with smooth avocado, juicy tomato, and creamy cheese, this power-protein sandwich is a South Beach vegetarian favorite. Vegans can use nondairy mayo and soy cheese. If you have extra time, marinate the tempeh for up to an hour.
Ingredients:	2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 (8-ounce) package soy tempeh 1 teaspoon mayonnaise 2 slices multigrain bread, lightly toasted 1 ounce shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (3 tablespoons) 1/4 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 slices tomato
Instructions:	Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic in a shallow bowl. Add tempeh and marinate for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Spray a medium nonstick skillet with fat-free cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add tempeh, reserving marinade, and cook until well browned, 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat, add 2 tablespoons of the marinade to the pan, and flip tempeh once or twice until marinade is absorbed. Spread mayonnaise on 1 bread slice. Place tempeh on top and cover with cheese, avocado, and tomato. Top with remaining bread, gently press down, slice in half, and serve.
