what a super idea / recipe! i am on a very tight budget and my time to make myself healthy food that is satisfying is even tighter. i can have this sandwhich made in under ten minutes and eaten before my 2 yr old daughter wakes from her nap!!! although i respect vegans, i am not one so i made some subs. used all organic ingredients; i used regular mayo and added a dash of lemon juice. sea salt; black pepper and left out the pickles. threw on a slice of tomatoe and it was delicious! this sandwhich has so many variations you could do to it also; i could see adding a slice of bacon (or fake bacon for vegans), maybe some roasted peppers rather than the relish, or even making it open faced then putting a bit of your favorite cheese on top and then sticking it under the broiler. thanks so much for sharing this recipe. i finally can eat lunch quickly, healthily, and feel satisfied!

What a terrific idea!! This is a really great protein alternative. I used all organic ingredients including egg mayo, but left out the pickle because I didn't have any on hand. I loaded up the sandwich with this, red onions, green peppers, sprouts, and lettuce. My kids and husband even enjoyed (and they're a tough crowd to please). Thanks for sharing...and keep 'em coming.

YUMMY. I didn't have any pickles on hand but I don't even think this needs it! It comes out tasting a little like egg salad with the accompanying flavors and texture (I used my food processor instead of the potato masher). It was delicious in a wrap (I like to use sprouted grain tortillas). I think it could be paired nicely with carrot shavings as well or sliced tomatoes.
