The varied flavors and textures of this Chick’n salad all come together beautifully! It is lovely by itself, in a wrap, or on a crusty roll! I use Beyond Meat’s lightly seasoned chicken strips for this recipe, and they work so well that you can confidently serve this salad to vegans and non-vegans alike. Here are the ingredients you will need:
Toast the chopped walnuts for five minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then place the pan on a rack to cool:
Add the vegan lemonaise (or light vegan mayo plus lemon zest) to a mixing bowl. I used a lot of extra bowls to show all of the ingredients in the photo above, but I weigh all of the dressing ingredients directly into one mixing bowl when I am not taking photos!
Add the Magickal Seasoning Blend, poppy seeds, vegan honee, and lemon juice:
Whisk to combine:
Cut up the apple into 1/2″ to 3/4″ pieces, add the pieces to the bowl with the dressing, and toss gently to coat:
Cut the grapes in half lengthwise, add them to the bowl, and mix again:
Cut the defrosted Beyond Chicken Strips into 1/2″ pieces, add them to the bowl, and mix gently:
Add the toasted and cooled walnuts, then mix everything together gently but thoroughly. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to develop. The salad is best served after one to six hours, but can be made up to a day ahead.
Enjoy!
