A beautiful vegetarian mock curry chicken salad... Chop in small pieces celery, apple, green grapes, tofu pups, currants, parsley, chives, and dressing made of mayo, pinch of curry powder, and small splash of lemon juice. I hear there is a gluten free chicken alternative coming soon to replace the tofu pups! I served this in a pumpernickel roll or you can wrap it in the new gluten free tortillas we found at the co-op!!!
