Instructions

  5. Assemble the Salad:Pour the dressing over the vegetable and vegan chicken mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve:Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with crackers, tostadas, or on a bed of lettuce.

Additional Tips and Variations

  • Add Some Heat: If you like your salad spicy, add some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.
  • Protein Alternatives: Feel free to use your favorite vegan protein source, such as chickpeas or seitan.
