Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams meatless chicken strips
- 1 cup vegetarian mayonnaise
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices sliced bread
Instructions
Start by cooking the meatless chicken strips according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
While the meatless chicken strips are cooling, dice the celery stalks and finely chop the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetarian mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the diced celery, chopped onion, and the slightly cooled meatless chicken strips into the bowl with the mayo mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture, stirring again to incorporate.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay down a piece of lettuce on four slices of bread.
Spoon the vegetarian chicken mayo mixture evenly on top of the lettuce leaves.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, pressing down gently to help the filling stay in place.
Slice each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately.
