Best Vegan 'Chicken' Salad - Quick & Easy too!

Vegan 'Chicken' Salad: seitan, raw crunchy veggies, grapes and apples, tossed with a delicious creamy mayo dressing! Makes a perfect vegan sandwich. Great for a summer potluck too! The Best!

When I think of chicken salad I think of the Waldorf salad I used to make, which this vegan chicken salad recipe is loosely based on. To replace the chicken I used Seitan, and tofurky chick’n is my favourite vegetarian alternative for shredded chicken hands down! I thought about using soy curls but the mock chicken meat won out easily!

And of course I've kicked everything up a few notches because that's just what I do! I'm all about flavour folks. And this homemade salad has tons of it! No need to run to the deli!

With healthy ingredients like red grapes, crunchy apples, celery, onion, red pepper, your plant based protein, simple but amazing vegan mayo based dressing with dill, vinegar and spices you have an award winning vegan summer salad, that's ready to serve in minutes! You’re family will love it!

And trust me vegetarians and meat eaters will devour this and will probably not believe it’s meatless and dairy free! It’s s total crowd pleaser! And inexpensive and easy to make, no food processor required, Yay!

I enjoy this salad on bread or a tortilla wrap with lettuce for lunch and it’s awesome served with crackers, sliced baguette or garlic bread for a potluck, YUM!!

And if your not into faux meats try my whole food vegan chickpea salad sandwich recipe instead, it's fabulous and it's gluten free!
