    1 celery rib, finely chopped

    1 carrot, grated

    1/4 red or green bell pepper, finely chopped

    2-3 green onions, finely chopped

    1 medium pickle, finely chopped

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) fresh dill, finely chopped

    ½ Tbsp (7 mL) lemon juice

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) vegan mayo (or regular mayo)

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) nutritional yeast

    ¼ tsp (1 mL) black salt

    ground black pepper, to taste

    12 slices sprouted, whole grain, or gluten free bread

  2. BLEND 1⁄3-½ of the mixture with a food processor or immersion blender, and mix back in, to even out the texture. Chill salad for 3+ hours before serving.
