What a nice salad to make for a picnic lunch! No need to use chicken in this recipe because it calls for Butler Soy Curls. The texture is quite similar to chicken and so they are perfect for this plant based salad. Feel free to add your favorite veggies to this salad such as cucumber or zucchini or peppers. If you like things spicy, add some Sriracha or salsa. Serve it up on top of a bed of greens or as part of a sandwich with tomato and/or avocado.
