It’s like you read my mind! I was just looking for a good veggie “chicken” salad.
I am allergic to Soy and Quinoa… what do I do? Chickpeas?
Chickpeas
Looks delicious! Any substitute for the soy curls as they are not available in Australia ?

Hi Jill
Soy curls are not available in Australia where I live. What can I use instead, please? Will firm tofu work?
Chickpeas
Very good … thank you!! I did have to add quite a bit more water to the dressing but it came out fine. ;- )
I used soy chunks here in UK , and used carrot, red onion and spring (green) onion but had no capers or miso- used tiny bit salt instead. It was delicious! Thank you so much- it has given me another sandwich filling and the texture is perfect!
I tried ths, it was great. Thanks Jill
Jill, this looks delicious, can’t wait to try. You are the queen of WFPB so I’m curious does boiling the soy curls do something different than just soaking them?
I think it makes them a little chewier.
