The “What Happened to Whole Foods’ Vegan Chik’n Salad?” Vegan (or not) Chicken Salad Recipe
Meaghan here with a vegetarian confession. Sometimes I crave chicken salad and I go to Whole Foods for their vegan chick’n salad. A few months ago I got the hankering, went up there and… it tasted all off to me. Did they change the recipe or maybe it was just my store having a bad day?
Anyway, yesterday was a fabulous day for us, but extremely exhausting. By 2pm I NEEDED A VEGAN CHIK’N SALAD.
I was car-less and didn’t feel like riding my bike a dozen miles to go get some “maybe ok” chick’n salad at Whole Foods (or accidentally spending as much money as I usually do there)…so I made my own and I have to say I’m very pleased!
Our new That’s Shallotta Flavor seasoning was PERFECT for this assignment. (Easily make this for carnivores by using real chicken and non vegan mayo)…
