Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle can feel empowering and soul-satisfying, but it can also include conflicting cravings. Stick to your lifestyle goals and feed your cravings with recipe alternatives such as nice cream instead of ice cream, jackfruit instead of pulled pork and hearts of palm instead of lobster. That’s right, the tender center of a palm tree mimics lobster like a pro. And with the right ingredients, you can savor a buttery “lobster” roll and never look back.
This hearts of palm lobster roll recipe includes all the flavors and textures associated with the real thing. Plant-based mayonnaise, minced celery, chives and parsley plus lemon juice and zest mix together with plant-based butter for a creamy base that’s indulgent yet light. Find yourself a vegan brioche to toast, and the taste-alike, animal-free recipe is complete.
