"Happy Chicken" Salad


We call this our "happy chicken" salad, because the chicken is happy it didn't have to die for it! It's a very easy, no-cook recipe that anyone can make in about 5-10 minutes. Here are the ingredients:

One 8 oz. package of tempeh (we like Lightlife's organic soy tempeh)
1/4 of a small red onion, diced
One small stalk celery, chopped
One tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup vegan mayo (our favorite is Follow Your Heart's Vegenaise, either the grapeseed oil or regular)
A pinch of red pepper flakes
Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Break the tempeh up into very small pieces and then combine all ingredients and stir with a spoon. That's it, you're done! I told you it was easy. It's delicious on a sandwich with lettuce, avacado, and sprouts. If you're trying to avoid wheat products, like I am, you can have it in lettuce cups. Form cups from lettuce leaves, spread hummus in the center of the cups and add chicken salad. Enjoy!
