The BEST Vegan Chicken Salad Wrap
This isn’t just any old chicken salad recipe. This just isn’t any old vegan recipe. And it didn’t have any old recipe development either. For us, this vegan chicken salad became an obsession.
We first tried vegan chicken salad wrap at the Maui Farmer’s Market, and after we became obsessed. Like couldn’t stop thinking about it long after the trip. How was it so creamy? How was it seasoned? Why is it so satisfying? Why do we not miss the presence of traditional meat?
After some internet research and a little experimentation, we did our best to reverse engineer that taste of Hawaii for your own kitchen.
why you’ll love it
Because it’s super creamy, flavorful, and good for the earth (seriously, we promise you will not miss meat). It is also very versatile and suuuuuper easy to make.
First things first, it is possible to have a satisfying sandwich without meat. You already know how to use/make chicken salad, and by making one simple substitution, this classic is completely transformed into an even more sustainable option.
This recipe is also a great introduction for cooking with tofu. It is not intimidating, and it is not gross. Tofu is super creamy and does a great job soaking up seasoning and other flavors. Plus, it travels well too!
Pairing our tofu substitution with spike seasoning and dried basil ensures the flavor of our mixture holds up in a sandwich, wrap, or any other application.
The spiced tofu mixture balances well with an assortment of crunchy vegetables so each bite is tasty and interesting.
Besides, nothing tastes better than making environmentally sustainable choices.
