Drain the hearts of palm and artichoke hearts thoroughly, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Using your hands, break the hearts of palm and artichoke hearts into bite-sized chunks resembling lobster meat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped celery, red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the hearts of palm and artichoke chunks into the mixture. Ensure that everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the insides of the hot dog rolls with melted butter.
Place the buttered rolls in the skillet, grilling the insides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the rolls are toasted, line each roll with two lettuce leaves.
Generously fill each prepared roll with the vegetarian lobster salad mixture.
Serve the Vegetarian Maine Lobster Rolls immediately, enjoying the fresh and flavorful combination.
