Ingredients

  • 2 cans artichokes whole or quartered packaged in brine, not marinated
  • ¼ cup vegan mayo
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery finely diced
  • 2 spears dill pickle finely diced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes quartered
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon salt if desired (taste first)
  • 8-12 slices sandwich bread
  • 4-6 large lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Open the cans of artichokes and drain the water well. Use your hands to squeeze our the majority of the brine, and place artichokes into a food processor. Pulse 8-10 quick times until the artichokes look roughly shredded (should be a tuna-like consistency). Do not over-blend.
  • In a medium bowl, add the shredded artichokes, vegan mayo, yellow mustard, diced onion, diced celery, diced pickle, tomatoes, and black pepper. Mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined.
  • Lightly toast bread. For each sandwich, lay a large piece of lettuce on the bottom slice of toasted bread and top with a generous layer of artichoke "tuna" salad. Top with the other piece of bread, cut in half using a sharp knife (if desired), and enjoy.

Notes

This artichoke salad stores beautifully in the fridge. You can make a batch and keep it on hand for simple vegan sandwiches all week long.
