No-Chicken Salad: You would never know the meat was missing from this delicious dish

There is actually no chicken in this no-chicken salad!

If you’re leaning towards a plant-based diet, this is the recipe to get you started. It has all the flavor and texture of chicken without it being in the recipe at all! The replacement is soy, and if you treat it right, no one will ever know it’s not chicken.

Julianne Nagel shares why she started on a plant-based journey. The soy curls she uses require a little bit of a soak before preparation. The more meat-like texture you want, the less liquid you need. Julianne shares all the ingredients for her no-chik salad, and different ways to serve it up.
