Vegetarian Chicken or Tuna Salad



Well I came up with this recipe for tuna salad when I discovered that if you heat up one of these Morningstar Farms (my favorite), Garden-burger, or Boca, (NOT Quorn, that stuff has an odd flavor), NON-BREADED vegetarian chicken patty and shred it with a fork, it makes a nice tuna-like consistency.

For tuna salad I add mayo and dill pickle relish. Combine and put between a couple slices of whole wheat bread for a sandwich. For chicken salad you can add any ingredient you usually add to your chicken salad. I do the mayo, celery, and a little shredded cheese for umph, and eat it on a bed of lettuce with tomato slices.


I just had to share. Maybe I'm weird, but still, I haven't seen this recipe anywhere else! Morningstar Farms should totally put this on the back of their chicken patty box, or sell a pre-shredded version. Chicken and tuna salad is so . . . well, all-American picnic, you know? It's a no-brainer!

P.S. Note the tangerine and shamrock Fiestaware plates!
