Plant-Based NOT Chicken Salad: The Perfect Substitute!

[@ToddSmithPartners]

I’ve gone completely vegan for the last 6 weeks, after 50 years of no beef or pork. Thanks so much for your channel. It’s awesome what you do. I’ll be making it this week

[@MarijaPukuota]

Same, and I done blood test recently. My cholesterol hit the levels I have never imagined. Your heart will thank you for this too, keep that in mind!

[@mikesnyder1788]

We have really struck gold with this woman's excellent channel. So many healthy and tasty dishes! Welcome aboard.

[@jeffhogan7991]

Ok I feel like I owe you a comment. I’m a retired 54 year old guy with 5 kids from 11 to 25. I’ve made this one at least 4 times now and love it. Thank you. My kids are intrigued but that’s it. I’m the only one making effort to be an sos free whole plant foodie.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

That is great to hear, you are doing a wonderful thing for them all. Thank you for sharing this!

[@tamikr123]

So delicious and easy to make. Thank you Jill for another amazing recepy ❤

[@truthbetold2611]

I love pickled capers, artichoke hearts or jalapenos in my salads for extra tanginess. It's satisfying to watch you enjoy your creations Jill. Thank you!

[@carolwilliams7052]

👉 Ooooh that dressing - - BRILLIANT !!! 😊

[@brendabeaudette-kaim6591]

I'm very excited to try this recipe as I used to LOVE chicken salad sandwiches! I can tell you all this: when I made Jill's "Chicken Soup" made with soy curls, my son stopped over and said, "It smells like you're making chicken soup." So I can imagine that the texture and taste will be very close to what we were used to!! Thank you, Jill! I'm so very grateful for all of these recipes which have made my taste buds dance!❤

[@SPEAKSB]

I have definitely put grapes in a plant based chicken salad it’s really good. It’s nice to have some sweet in your salads

[@soapgirl123]

Thank you so much for sharing all of your great recipes. I love watching your shows every day and especially appreciate having the access to print the recipes. It’s been an interesting journey towards better health for both my husband and me and having a great cooking show like yours will serve to really expand our meal selection. You have such a lovely disposition - so calm and caring. Thank you!

[@consciousobserver629]

My mom used to make chicken salad growing up with grapes (as well as Mandarin oranges and slivered almonds). I have yet to try it with soy curls (just chickpeas)! Looks too good!

[@Whiskeytango2178]

Excellent use of soy curls - very creative!

[@nhuslage]

I just started using soy curls for barbecue a few weeks ago. This looks great for summer!

[@tomithot261]

Excellent ... I love the use of sunflower seeds for the creamy base. Am avoiding cashews as they are picked by mistreated humans. Also am trying tofu. Thanks for the excellent videos and variety.l

[@lindagoode1251]

This sounds really good Jill! I’ll make this tonight for dinner. Thank you!!

[@kaimkristene]

It's tough to get soy curls! Ordered them a week and a half ago on Amazon but they are just arriving today, so I'll be making this and Jill's buckwheat bread to take to lunch for work! Can't wait to try it!!

[@tammyt4959]

You can order a variety of quantities directly from Butler Foods. I order 12 lb at a time from them and they always arrive lickety split!

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

Shoo Jill I miss out so much I was away i just got back thank you very much for update many thanks nd much appreciated

[@jillfisher283]

As always....very inspiring....thank you from South Africa

[@burnellvassarmd4670]

THANK YOU, Jill, tried this today for lunch and it is just delicious❤

[@SuperFoodParents]

My kids try to act like they don't like soy curls but they tear them up when I cook them. 😂 I just crumble them before cooking instead of chopping them later 🔪 💥

[@Rita-eb5pz]

Crumbling them beforehand is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@cinders1413]

Your recipes are just amazing thank you !!

[@maryannmatteson8401]

Great recipe Jill !!! Thank you!!!✝️❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@Marilyn7733]

Delicious salad recipe!!! It’s 107 here today and this made the perfect cool meal. I ate mine on a bed of greens with sliced tomatoes. The dressing is amazing. I didn’t have sunflower seeds so I used hemp seeds. I’m already thinking 🤔 of all the other things I can use this dressing for, like Waldorf salad, even wraps. 😋. Thank you.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yay! We have a whole series of free salad dressings on our website as well! Be sure to check them out: plantbasedcookingshow.com/category/recipes/salads-and-dressings/

[@danielacecchi764]

It’s absolutely amazing! I’ve tried it just today …wow! Really delicious!

[@joannemartin1874]

I love butler's soy curls they are just excellent I have been using them for several years

[@angelahill3556]

Soy curls are staple in my house. I love the texture and how it soaks up any flavor you use. I used to get a salad similar to this at Hudson's department store restaurant in Michigan when I was a kid. I am looking forward to making this Jill's way. Yummy! 🤤🥰

[@drdeb8646]

It was a “Michigan” salad, I think. Miss the original J L Hudson’s

[@nazokashii]

That's such a great idea to use the soy curls for this :D seems so yummy :) thank you for sharing

[@susanspratling]

Awesome recipe thank you

[@karenseale9372]

OK, you have finally convinced me. I will try the soy curls.

[@SPEAKSB]

I dont eat soy but I wanna make this with chikpeas 😍

[@heartshapedisle]

Hoping to be able to get soy curls in Australia one day. All the one's sold on Amazon here are past use by date. I sent Butler's a lead for a distributor when they asked. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@KasSommers]

We don't have Soy Curls in Australia. Can you suggest a substitute?

[@emp2291]

Yum! I just discovered soy curls and have a few bags I've been wondering how to use besides making tacos. 🙂

[@richardmcdonald7565]

Suggest using Tempeh, which can be found at most health-oriented stores, OR, you can find how-to videos about how to make your own Tempeh, ☺

[@phillipsmom6252]

Do you have a link for the small colorful bowls? Thanks 👍

Where can I get the everything spice crackers?

[@martyrichard3092]

Can we freeze tofu, cut it up and then use it instead of the curls?

[@KimBurris-x3c]

Can not find raw sunflowers seeds. Could I use cashews instead?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes or almonds

[@smallbluechicken6818]

Is there a difference between cooking the soy curls versus soaking them? I've never seen them cooked so am curious. Thanks!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Cooking just softens them quicker

[@hypnosisforhappiness]

Unfortunately Butler soy curls or similar are impossible to find in Australia and by the looks of that link, they are not currently available from Amazon US either... I wonder if firm tofu would work?

[@ginal2643]

I'm new to this and am excited to try the soy curls but could I do a tofu spread or cream in lieu of nut or seed "cream"? Any idea how I'd do that? Any insight you have is appreciated!

[@IAmSherry12]

Do you have a substitute for the soy? I'm very allergic

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

chick peas

[@carolwilliams7052]

@IAmSherry12 - You would know better of course, but I'm wondering if you don't have a true soy allergy, you might just be sensitive to processed and concentrated soy such as soy milk or tofu. Have you ever had whole soy such as edamame or tempeh? The reason I ask is because soy curls are made by a special process that dehydrates the whole soybean, so it is an intact food.

[@IAmSherry12]

[@carolwilliams7052]

@@IAmSherry12 👍 Be careful. Years back I was at dinner with a friend who ordered some carrot cake for dessert because they swore it did not contain nuts. It did, and we spent the next seven hours in the ER !!! 😓

Hello I was hoping for organic or at minimum non GMO. Soy curls but I don’t see that about these?

[@gailnightowl0423]

How do you get protein eating only vegan?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

All protein originally comes from plants, so we eat plants 😀

[@sharons8141]

What can I use instead of Miso Paste? I am allergic to rice

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Liquid aminos or tamari

[@sister4566]

This sounds delish and I have soy curls on hand, but what if anything can be used if you don’t have the miso paste?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

You can use tamari or liquid aminos

[@lisaredwine4857]

Salt. I never keep miso paste, and that's what I use instead. The miso is only (or mostly) added to give it a salty taste. Don't add much. I'd use sea salt or Himalayan salt (it's pink).

[@sister4566]

@@lisaredwine4857 thanks!

[@AlanaKamili]

Hello - I love your show! However, can you do a 'chicken' recipee without soy or Saitan? Maybe jackfruit? I can't have soy or gluten...:(

[@duanes2000]

Love soy curls. Are sunflower seeds raw, or roasted? Thanks for the recipe!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Raw and unsalted 👍

[@LindaStitches]

I assume that the sunflower seeds in the recipe are raw (?)

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes

Unfortunately £193 to ship butlers to the uk.. !

Butler soy curls are good, just REAL expensive.
