Servings:
1-4 Chicken Liberators! I might be hallucinating but this tasted just like chicken salad to me! Party in the Hen House!
Ingredients:
¼ cup cashews
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon tumeric
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
sprinkle garlic powder or hing
1 cup walnuts
2 stalks celery
1 tablespoon chopped pickle, pickled ginger, or apple cider vinegar
¼ cup grapes (optional), sliced
1 cucumber, for putting salad on, chopped
¼ cup sliced green onion mixed in at the end!
sprinkle yellow bell pepper if you have it.
optional but great to add is chopped apple, raisins, or collard greens at end.
Preparation:
Blend the cashews, water and spices together until smooth (I use a blend teck for this). Then pulse the walnuts and celery in food processor until small chunks remain. I also threw in a few mushrooms. Throw in green onions, raisins and apple (optional) in at the end.
Wait until the very end to add the pickles if you do. Or add a little on each portion. Serve and enjoy on celery rounds, in scooped out peppers, in a tomato or with favorite bread or crackers.
I made this into crackers with everything except the pickles- so it gives you another option. Add some flax to the crackers to help hold them together and a cup of carrot pulp from juicing. Also for the chik n biskit crackers shown here I ran out of cashews so I used half a cup of sunflower seeds. You will have to add a little water to get it smooth.
I like a few grapes thrown in too. Serve in peeled cucumbers sliced in half and seeds taken out- like raw hogies or on slices of cucumber if it is for an hordeurve. Or of course on raw bread with a little spinach if you have some!

This salad is fabulous! I used half as much turmeric. The raisins and apples add a sweet flavor that is perfect with the tangy ingredients. Using it as an apple dip or on top of salad is perfect. I had it with onion bread and it was great.

i will definitely try making more and dehydrating it into crackers/bread!

i was a little skeptical about how much this would actually taste like chicken salad, but i was happily surprised! It really does!! i think its the celery, and the texture of the raw mushrooms really helps make it "meaty" as well. DELICIOUS! :9 We ate it kind of like a dip, with apple slices.

Hi Karriej! That is so great you tried it and liked it too! I have never been into walnuts really but now with the almond issue, and the cashew question I have been trying other things. That't the thing that is so neat about this recipe. I took this recipe above and added a cup of grated carrot (or left over from juicing) and a little flax and water and wala! You've got the above cracker. The picture above actually isn't the chicken salad- it's the crackers made form the chicken salad. The checken salad actually looked whiter like real chicken salad. Good luck making them!

I made this last night for dinner and finished it up today for lunch. So delish! I made little cucumber sandwiches but those crackers you have in the picture look great too. Is the recipe on the sight?

Hi Rishi! Thank you for trying this and getting back to me! One thing else I did was soak the walnuts a few days ago in spices and then dehydrate them. They were moister when I finished than when I started so I didn't dehydrate them too much. I am glad you built on the curry flavor I had going. I almost added cumin myself! I want to make an indian lentil flat bread somehow raw. I love that stuff!

i'm gonna be honest, pretty frikkin good. I didn't have celery seeds, but i added coriander and cumin instead. I also chopped a tomato and mixed it in. Definitely needed the tomato for freshness. The ACV is also a must.

I intend to try this one!
