Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the plant-based chicken is cooked and diced into bite-sized pieces. Chop the apples and dice the onion to your preferred size.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced plant-based chicken and vegan mayonnaise. Stir until the chicken is well-coated with the mayonnaise.
  3. Step 3: Add Crunch and Flavor. Next, add the diced onion and halved or diced pecans to the bowl. These ingredients will introduce crunch and flavor that elevates the salad.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Sweetness. Now, fold in the chopped apples. Gently mix everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and coated.
  5. Step 5: Taste and Adjust. Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add salt, pepper, or any other spices you prefer to enhance the flavor.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy. Your 5-Ingredient Vegan Chicken Salad Recipe is ready! Serve it on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or in a wrap. Enjoy it immediately or store it for later.
