Vegan Nutty Chicken Salad Recipe

When I first started the blog, I shared a lot of vegan recipes. But over time, I realized that wasn’t what a majority of my readers were looking for so I pivoted and started sharing more vegetarian recipes.

There are still people who support my blog who appreciate the vegan recipes, so I am sharing this Vegan Nutty Chicken Salad for them!

If you are vegan, I think you’d really like Vegan Orange Chicken, Homemade Vegan Brownies, the Best Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce, and Vegan Potato Salad, too!

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup Slivered Almonds
• 1 (15 oz) can Chickpeas, Drained & Rinsed
• 2 Celery Stalks, Diced Small
• 1/2 cup Red Grapes, Halved
• 1/4 cup Dried Cherries
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup Vegan Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• Salt to Taste

How to Make Vegan Nutty Chicken Salad

• In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup slivered almonds until crumbly. Make sure not to pulse too fine.
• Add in 1 (15 oz) can drained and rinsed chickpeas and pulse just a few times. You can leave a few beans whole, you don’t want to over pulse.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in 2 diced celery stalks, 1/2 cup halved red grapes, 1/4 cup dried cherries, 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Add more mayo to reach desired consistency and salt to taste.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
