Instructions

Prep and chop the chicken seitan, vegetables, apples and grapes and add them to a large bowl.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over everything. Mix well. Season with salt and black pepper if needed. Enjoy right away or chill in fridge first.

I enjoy this salad on my no knead artisan bread as a sandwich or tortilla wrap with lettuce for lunch and it’s awesome served with crackers, sliced baguette or garlic bread for a potluck, YUM!!
