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 .

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.
