Raw Mock Chicken salad recipes don't taste like chicken. Rather, it's their texture that give these salads their "chickenness."This recipe gets that chicken-salad-like texture by using raw cashews. It's a good contender for substitutions... Just make sure you've got the ratio of nuts to vegetables. Do not omit the apple or the cashews, though, because they are integral to the flavor of this recipe.
