Instructions
Rinse the 8 oz king oyster mushrooms and pat dry. Separate caps from stems. Use a fork to pull the stems into shreds and slice the caps into strips roughly the same size as the shredded stems.
Slice the 1 celery stalk thinly. Slice the 1 scallion thinly (white and green parts). Halve and core ½ apple, then cut it into small cubes.
Pour 2 cups vegan chicken broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded/sliced mushrooms, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
Drain the cooked mushrooms in a colander and let them cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup mayo, 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 Tbsp dill (if using fresh dill, chop it first). Stir until smooth.
Add the cooled mushrooms, sliced celery, sliced scallion, and apple cubes to the mayo mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill briefly if desired before serving.
