Notes
You can use homemade or store-bought seitan chicken for this recipe. For store-bought, Upton's Naturals traditional style is a good choice. But any chicken or turkey-style seitan will work. If using homemade seitan chicken, you'll need about 1 cup of bite-sized seitan pieces.
This vegan chicken salad is great on a sandwich. You can also use it wrapped in a tortilla or romaine leaf, on top of crackers, stuffed in a pita, or as an addition to a salad or bowl.
If you prefer a sweeter take, omit the dill pickles. Add sliced grapes, raisins, or dried cherries instead.
For a creamier filling, add more mayo to taste.
The mock chicken salad will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 4 days.
