This Vegan Chicken Salad is a creamy, crunchy, and flavorful plant-based twist on the classic version. Made with vegan chicken, crisp veggies, and a tangy, herby dressing, it’s perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or a light salad meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegan chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion or green onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grapes, chopped apple, or sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Shred or chop the vegan chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add diced celery, onion, and any optional mix-ins like grapes or almonds to the bowl.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegan chicken mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
