Ingredients
½ Medium cauliflower (leaves and core removed, broken into florets)
4 Slices wholemeal bread
¼ cup Scallions or chives (chopped)
2 tbsp Vegan mayo
1 tsp Dijon mustard (or any other mustard)
¼-½ tsp Pink Himalayan salt
¼-½ tsp Black pepper
- Garnish (optional)
1 Tomato (sliced)
Fresh arugula
Directions
- Cooking Cauliflower: First, cook the cauliflower. Steam it for approximately 15 minutes – when it’s ready, you should be able to pierce the florets with a fork easily, but they should still keep their shape.
- Cooling Cauliflower: Lay the cooked cauliflower on a clean tea towel and let it cool down.
- Preparing Egg Salad: Once cool, finely chop it and transfer it into a mixing bowl. Add scallions, mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper. Start with smaller amounts of salt and pepper and adjust to taste.
- Assemble the sandwich: Toast your bread slices (optional) and start assembling your sandwiches. Add egg salad, greens, and tomato.
- Serve: Close the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy!
Notes
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh cauliflower for the best flavor and texture in your sandwich filling.
- Customize Your Sandwich: Feel free to customize your sandwich with additional ingredients such as avocado, pickles, or sprouts for added flavor and texture.
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the cauliflower mixture ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This allows for easy assembly when you’re ready to make your sandwiches.
- Mayo Options: You can use store-bought vegan mayo or use our whole-food homemade cashew mayo recipe that I have left at the end of the post.
- Elevate with Herbs: Add a pop of freshness by mixing chopped herbs like parsley or dill into the cauliflower mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Bread Choice: Choose a hearty bread that can hold up to the fillings without becoming soggy too quickly. Whole grain bread or artisanal bread with a crusty exterior works well.

How to Store This Vegan Egg Salad
To keep your vegan egg salad fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay good for up to three days. Just give it a quick stir before serving to bring back its creamy texture. If you are packing it for lunch, keep it chilled in an insulated bag with an ice pack to maintain freshness.
