Vegan lobster roll, yes you heard us right! You can make a delicious “lobster” roll that tastes similar to the real thing. The secret: hearts of palm replace the lobster meat. Stuff the filling in a hot, grilled hoagie roll and you’ve got a summer time favorite without any use of animal products.

The recipe is also very simple. It doesn’t require a lot of ingredients and since there is almost no cooking involved besides toasting the rolls you can get them on the table in no time and without heating up the kitchen. Serve them alongside your favorite potato chips, or other picnic sides like potato salad or pasta salad.

Recipe Variations

  • For a hot, buttered lobster roll simply sauté the hearts of palm in three tablespoons of vegan butter. Add just the scallions and parsley (leave out all the other ingredients) at the last second and serve inside the warm grilled rolls. Add a lemon wedge or two on the side.
  • You can switch up the seasonings in the mayonnaise mixture however you like. Try adding some smoked paprika, fresh chopped dill, or fresh chopped chives in place of the scallions.
  • You can use hot dog rolls in place of hoagie rolls if you can't find them.

Recipe Tips

  • Pre-sliced hearts of palm also work for this recipe. They will still taste the same as the whole hearts of palm and will have a similar texture. It just won’t resemble the lobster chunks of a traditional lobster roll.
