Vegan Lobster Rolls, Gluten-Free
As I enter my 36th week of pregnancy (I can’t believe my due date is still a whole month away!), I can’t help but think about how different my life was a year ago. This time last year, I was putting the final touches on our wedding plans and Ross and I couldn’t wait to start relaxing on our honeymoon in Maine.
As we drove up the Maine coast, I remember passing endless roadside stands and restaurants selling lobster rolls. We kept talking about how we couldn’t wait to come up with a vegan version when we got home but somehow I completely forgot about our plan until now.
I’m so excited to finally share today’s Vegan, Gluten-Free Lobster Roll recipe! Featuring hearts of palm as the “meat”, this sandwich tastes like pure summer. The flavor isn’t especially “fishy” but everything comes together in a delicious way that’s definitely reminiscent of seafood.
I was especially excited to discover these gluten-free hot dog buns because bread other than regular loaves that’s both gluten-free and vegan is often hard to come by.
- 2 14-ounce cans of hearts of palm
- ½ cup diced celery
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
- juice of one lemon
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 rolls
- vegan butter
- handful of greens
- lemon wedges
- Drain the hearts of palm and roughly chop them. Place in a large bowl. Add all remaining "lobster" salad ingredients and stir.
- Toast rolls and spread with vegan butter. Sprinkle a few greens on each roll and top with "lobster" salad. Serve fresh with lemon wedges.
Thank you for sharing this. That’s a must try :o) And I think I will give it a go together with this delicious egg potato salad http://enjoyveganrecipes.com/eggy-potato-salad-the-vegan-corner/
That looks like the perfect pairing!
Beautiful pictures wow! looks so delicious and ingredient list is so simple. I am going to try this! Thanks for uploading this recipe! my husband and I also always want to experiment with vegan options of popular foods and try new things! 😀 😀
I hope you and your husband love it!
The best!!!!
I like this version the most. I could eat it everyday.

On a whim, I searched for vegan lobster roll and yours popped up. I can’t wait to make this!! Thank you!
Yay! Let me know how you like it when you try it! 🙂
what were the hot dog rolls you used and where can i get them?
I found them at my local grocery store! Here they are: https://www.schaer.com/en-us/p/hot-dog-rolls
I made these tonight. So delicious! (I added seaweed flakes but otherwise kept to the recipe). Thanks for sharing!
That’s great to hera! Seaweed flakes sound like a delish addition!!
We’re anxious to try this. And because we are Vegan NO SOS, we make our own no-salt copy-cat Old Bay (Google Copy-Cat Old Bay and you’ll find the recipe for it. Just use 1 TBL ground celery seed instead of 2 TBL celery salt)
I have demolished 2 of these sandwiches back to back. I was extremely hungry!!! I absolutely love this recipe and has easily become one of my fav quick-no-hassle recipes!!! Thank you
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you like it!
