Vegan Waldorf Salad

This veganized version of a New York–style Waldorf salad is packed full of traditional ingredients but adds chewy barley to deliver extra hunger-busting heft. Apples, celery, raisins, and barley are coated in a creamy tofu-based mayo that gets a dash of savory warmth from pumpkin pie spice, while a sprinkling of walnuts delivers the familiar crunch of this deli-counter classic. Fresh chopped parsley adds a tasty herbal finish to the dish, but you could swap it for dill or basil if you like. Serve our vegan Waldorf salad in Bibb lettuce cups for extra style points and watch how quickly this refreshing recipe disappears.
