Mock Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
1 Cup firm tofu [you can replace with cooked canned jackfruit for a more chicken-like texture, or chickpeas for a heartier filling]
¼ Cup vegan mayo
½ Tsp mustard (dijon or spicy brown)
½ Stalk of celery
¼ – ½ Green or red onion
½ An apple [optional]
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
Begin by finely chopping your celery, onion, and apple (if you’re using it). Then crumple your tofu.
If using the alternate ingredients, we recommend shredding the jackfruit with a fork, or roughly chopping the chickpeas.
Then measure out the rest of your ingredients and mix everything together in a bowl.
That’s it! All that’s left to do is put it in a sandwich. We like ours with lettuce and tomato on lightly toasted bread, but prepare however you like!
**If using jackfruit, here’s how to cook it: Cover and simmer it in a pot with water for about 30 mins, stirring occasionally. Then take the lid off and cook for another 10 minutes or so. Once it’s done, use a fork to shred the jackfruit.
