Shred or chop the plant-based chicken strips into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the bowl and mix until the plant-based chicken is well coated.
Stir in the celery, red onion, and halved grapes until well combined.
Add the almonds and dill to the mixture and gently fold in to maintain the texture of the salad.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly.
Cut the croissants in half horizontally, but do not cut all the way through, so they open like a book.
Lay a piece of lettuce and a slice or two of tomato inside each croissant.
Spoon the vegetarian chicken salad onto the tomato and lettuce layer.
Close the croissant gently, taking care to not spill the filling.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwich!
