Ingredients

Scale

Vegan Seafood Salad:

  • ¼ cup vegan mayo
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon seaweed granules, such as kelp or dulse
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 (14-ounce) can hearts of palms, drained
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • ¼ small onion (red, yellow, white), finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Toppings, Accompaniments (as desired):


Instructions

  1. Add mayo, mustard, ketchup, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and seaweed granules to a medium bowl. Mix together until well combined.
  2. Place drained chickpeas in the container of a food processor and process for a few seconds, just until the chickpeas are well chopped and flaked. (Do not overprocess or liquefy; texture should be chunky.) Transfer to the bowl with the mayo mixture.
  3. Place the drained hearts of palm in the container of the food processor and process for a few seconds, until chopped but not liquefied. Transfer to the bowl with the mayo mixture and chickpeas.
  4. Add celery, onion, capers, dill, and chives to the bowl, and gently mix until well combined.
  5. Serve immediately with toppings and accompaniments, as desired; or chill until serving time. May store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
  6. Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup each).

Notes

This filling is an excellent sandwich filling, with pita, toasted whole wheat bread, or wraps. You can also serve it on top of a salad bowl: Line individual salad bowls with lettuce greens, and top with Vegan Seafood Salad, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lemon wedges.
