Growing up, my mom was more of a fan of tuna salad versus making chicken salad. It wasn't until I became an adult that I acquired the taste for chicken salad. Now, that I no longer eat meat or seafood. I finally decided to give the vegan option a try. I love how simple the recipe is to make.
It doesn't require a lot of ingredients and it's perfect to top on...
- crackers
- cucumbers
- lettuce
- kale
- celery, etc.
This recipe is perfect to have on hand during the summer months, and it's truly a crowd-pleaser.
