Vegan Chicken Salad

Sometimes you miss traditional, simple, and satisfying food. With no sophistication and no surprises. Like chicken salad, for example.

Now that better beef/chicken alternatives are on the market, it’s possible to satisfy the craving with no regret.

We combine cooked soy protein strips with jackfruit to get a meaty texture. Add chopped celery stick, green and purple onion, corn, dill, mayonnaise, mustard, and spices.

Mix well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Place in the fridge for a few hours to allow flavors to blend.

Put in a sandwich, serve as an appetizer, or part of a buffet.

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out😋❣️
