Mock Chicken & Dinosaur Kale Salad




Chickenless Salad (Sandwich)

serves 4-6 sandwiches depending on how thick you make them

2 cups vegan chicken shredded (pulse in food processor or shred with a fork). I used Yves brand.
1/4 cup red onion, diced small
2 celery stalks, diced small
1/4-1/3 cup veganase mayo
1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon dill relish (I didn't have)
salt and pepper to taste
bread

Optional:
1/4 cup sliced almonds or sunflower seeds

Cook your vegan chicken according to the package instructions. Pulse 1 c. at a time in your food processor to get a nice shred or just shred w/ a fork by hand and then chop a bit more. Throw in a large mixing bowl and add all the rest of the ingredients except the bread and mix well. Spread a little more vegan mayo and/or mustard on the bread then scoop onto bread and serve.








Raw Dinosaur Kale Salad

Serves about two.

I think most dark, leafy green (raw) salads are kinda gross but I promise this one isn't!

1 bunch dinosaur kale
Apple cider vinegar (splash or two; to taste)
Olive oil (splash or two; to taste)
Nutritional yeast (a good amount; maybe two heaping Tbsp.)
Garlic powder
Coriander
Cumin
Sea salt

Throw everything in a large bowl and mix. Add vinegar and olive oil to taste and then spices and nutritional yeast; all to taste.
