    Vegan Egg Mayonnaise Salad (GF)

    This Vegan Egg Mayonnaise Salad is super creamy and full of flavour - a quick yet healthy meal that's perfect for summer!

    Vegan Egg Mayonnaise Salad (GF)

    I've used chickpeas to make a vegan "tuna mayonnaise" before, which got me thinking about other ways I could use it and I started thinking about egg mayonnaise.

    The chickpeas are nutty and have a great texture, along with lots of protein and fibre. If you want to add a characteristically egg-like flavour, I've heard adding black salt, which tastes of sulphur does the trick - so you could try that out if you're into that kinda thing!

    Instead of using tahini to make the mayonnaise part, I decided to use avocado. It adds a lovely creaminess reminiscent of mayonnaise, and is so rich that you can even make it oil-free and nut-free.

    I then added some mustard, vinegar and maple syrup for that slightly spiced, tangy, salty-sweet mayonnaise flavour. I also added cucumber for freshness, apple for a sweet crunch, and you could add some cress or watercress for peppery flavour if you like.

    Then just mix the whole thing together and serve either in lettuce cups, chicory boats(!), pitta bread or just between slices of normal bread. I especially love the lettuce cups or chicory boats idea, which makes this a great quick lunch, side dish or an appetiser for a party.
