I’m always hesitant to try new vegan recipes as I am just venturing into being vegan. I have thrown a lot of expensive ingredients away and wasn’t too sure about making this. Boy, am I glad I did! It is sooooo delicious! I can think of so many things to put it on! This is a keeper for sure!!! YUM!!! ~Lisa

Jenn I’m so not exaggerating when I say that this dressing is one of the best I have ever had. I probably could have just poured it in a glass and drank it. I, honestly, usually have to spruce up sauce recipes to tweak them to my liking, but this one I followed your recipe to a T and it was absolutely perfect. Smoky, tangy, creamy and perfectly seasoned. I’m almost out of it already, lol! So happy I finally tried it after so many weeks! Will be in my regular rotation for sure, thanks girl! ~ Brandi, from The Vegan 8

Oh my goodness, this salad is GOOD! I make it at least once a week! I love it on top of greens, in a pita, in a wrap, or just by itself! This has become one of my go to lunches and it takes no time at all to put together! Thank you so much for such a great recipe! ~ Libby

I found it tasted like egg salad sandwiches….loved it! I was leary at first since i don’t like fruit in salads but this was amazing and loved the grapes in it. This recipe is a keeper. ~ Karen

I never leave comments on anything but I just have to say that this recipe is amazing! Before I became vegan, I loved chicken salad and this recipe totally satisfies that craving. Every single person who I have had try this has loved it. Even my newly vegan, extremely picky boyfriend likes this. It makes a perfect sandwich but is great just by itself too. I usually double or triple the recipe and it feeds us all week. ~ Bridget
