Do you pack lunches? For your kids? For your husband? My daughter is homeschooled and my husband works from home so most of our lunches are eaten together. But when we are traveling, we often pack family lunches.
Since we eat vegetarian food (with the exception of fish), Morningstar Farms products are a common meat substitute in our family. My kids love the Chik ‘n Nuggets. But the hubby and I love chicken salad. So when I purchased a box of these yummy Chick ‘n Nuggets, I knew half the box would go towards a vegetarian chicken salad for my husband and I and the rest could be dipped in ketchup for lunch for the kiddos.
Ingredients
- 8 Morningstar Farms Chik ‘n Nuggets
- 1/3 cup of vegan mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
- 1/2 stalk of celery, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 T freshly chopped dill
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together. Serve on bread, toast, or crackers!
This is such a quick and easy thing to make. We can serve it on 100 calorie rounds, on bread (toasted too!) or just with saltine crackers. It is so tasty. That fresh dill just makes it taste so good.

I have had a couple MorningStar products – they are REALLY tasty!
I’m going to have to try this. I haven’t been able to meat substitutes that I really like. Maybe this will be the one.
morning star is one of my favorite brands. they have great vegetarian options. I know i would really enjoy this chicken salad!
I love Morningstar. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I haven’t tried these, but I would like to. I’ve been getting ready to try making my own seitan – I have the vital wheat gluten, and now googling around at recipes. I have a feeling I’m going to wish I had just instead bought these nuggets done up so nice!
We love using gluten flour too and making “meat”. We make a broth and then drop the wheat into it in pieces and it kind of puffs up. Then when it’s done we make the broth into a gravy to pour over the “meat”. It is a long process, tastes great too. But Morningstar Farms is just so much quicker and easier for our family right now! Thankful it is so readily available.
My kids schools had dining rooms and so they had lunch most of the time. On the days they took lunch to school, peanut butter and jam sandwiches were also a big hit.
I like this recipe for vegetarian chicken salad! It looks easy and delicious!
