The other day I discovered that Trader Joe’s is carrying a new product called Chicken-Less Salad with carrots, celery and currants. I was intrigued, but after reading the ingredients, decided that it sounds okay if not good. Well, it’s good, really good!
The bit of crunch from the carrots and celery, the dijon mustard and the chewy currants really come together for a nice flavor profile. The base is made from their gardein-style chicken strips and vegenaise, both products I eat occasionally. Try it if you can get it! I had about 1/2 cup of it on toasted bread with a bit of extra vegenaise. This would be great as a filler for lettuce cups too! -Claire
Huh that’s interesting! Personally I cannot stand mayonnaise (even vegan) but glad to see TJs has more to offer!
I don’t like mayo either – actually started a rant on it but deleted it from this post! 🙂 Vegenaise is pretty good though. I don’t know why I like it when I have never liked mayo!
