- 8 Ounces Plant-Based Chicken, like Sweet Earth Or, 1 can of chickpeas*see note*

- ¼ Cup Dried Cranberries, like Craisins
- ¼ Cup Slivered Almonds Or, chopped cashews
- ½ Cup Vegan Sour Cream
- ¼ Cup Vegan Mayo
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Dried Tarragon
- 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
- 4 Vegan Croissants
Instructions
- Chop the plant-based chik'n into smaller pieces
- Add all ingredients except the nuts and croissants to a bowl. Stir to combine
- Transfer to refrigerator and let chill for at least 4-6 hours
- When ready to serve, stir in the slivered almonds or chopped cashews. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed. Spread salad onto sliced croissants with lettuce or microgreens
Notes
*If using chickpeas instead of plant-based chicken, roast them slightly in 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes. This won't make them crispy but just a little drier and adds a 'meatier' texture to the salad. Not necessary, just a suggestion. After roasting, mash chickpeas with a fork before adding to other ingredients.
