Vegan Chicken Salad

Quick “salads” (liketuna,egg, andchicken) are one of my go-to lunches on busy days. For days when I don’t have or don’t want to eat meat, this salad is super filling and refreshing, with a delicious salty bite. Whether you eat it on toast, make a sandwich, or just eat it with chips, it will make you look forward to your lunch hour even more.
