VEGAN TUNA MAYO (TUNA SALAD) SANDWICH
Vegan tuna mayo (aka tuna salad) is easy to make, healthy and a great meat-free alternative to fish. The texture comes from mashed chickpeas (garbanzo beans) so it's a nutritious sandwich filling with loads of fantastic flavours.
In this Vegan Tuna Salad, the chickpea filling is made of mayo, capers and a few ingredients that when mashed together is a tasty plant-based substitute for tuna salad
It may not taste exactly like fish (I'm not sure of many vegans who would want that!), but it's a great substitute and the chickpea filling is to-die-for.
You can add crumbled nori seaweed for a 'fishy' taste, or leave it out and let the red onions and capers add the deeper flavour.
INGREDIENTS Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) Vegan mayo Onion - white or red. Spring onions (scallions) Salt and pepper Capers Nutritional yeast Soy sauce Nori seaweed
STEPS Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then coarsely mash them with a fork. Add all remaining ingredients and mix to combine.
Serve on bread with salad leaves and tomatoes. Note: if gluten-free choose gluten-free mayonnaise and soy sauce.
