    *Mock Chicken Salad with Yellow Curry

    “Un-Chicken” Salad with Coconut Curry

    On youtube-

    Raw Mock Chicken salad  recipes don’t taste like chicken. Rather, it’s their texture that give these salads their “chickenness.”This recipe gets that chicken-salad-like texture by using raw cashews. It’s a good contender for substitutions… Just make sure you’ve got the ratio of  nuts to vegetables. Do not omit the apple or the cashews, though, because they are integral to the flavor of this recipe. It’s superb with the yellow curry!
