Chickpea Tuna Salad

chickpeas

can wild albacore tuna (drained (I like American Tuna))

red onion

capers (plus 2 tablespoons of the brine)

red wine vinegar

chopped lettuce (optional)

Combine all the ingredients, adjust the vinegar and brine to your taste.

An easy Chickpea Tuna Salad that's filled with bright flavor and fresh ingredients like tomatoes and bell pepper. Canned tuna has never been so delicious!

red onion (thinly sliced, about 1/2 cup)

cherry tomatoes ( halved)

large seedless English cucumber (halved lengthwise and

red bell pepper

solid pack albacore tuna in water (wild caught if possible)

arugula

parsley (finely chopped)

Feta Cheese

lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)

extra virgin olive oil

garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))

salt

black pepper

Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad (this preserves its flavor but takes off some of the harshness...and the continual red onion after taste).

To a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and bell pepper. Drain the tuna and flake into the bowl. Add the arugula.

Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. (You can also shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight fitting lid). Drizzle enough over the salad to moisten it, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the feta and parsley over the top, then toss lightly again. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, or dressing as desired. Enjoy!

Creamy vegan &quot;tuna&quot; salad made with chickpeas and jackfruit. Try this delicious spread in wraps and sandwiches or as an easy snack with raw veggies and crackers. Free from oil, gluten, and soy.

The BEST Vegan Tuna Salad

(20 oz.) can green/young jackfruit in brine

lemon,

celery, diced (about 1 cup)

red onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)

chickpeas,

Oil-Free Vegan Aquafaba Mayo (Or ½ to ¾ cup vegan mayo of choice.)

cayenne pepper, optional

salt,

Soak

Drain the jackfruit and place in a shallow bowl or dish. Cover with water and let soak for a few minutes while you prep the onion and celery and gather the other ingredients. Preheat a saute pan over medium heat.

Drain

Drain the jackfruit, and place on a clean, lint-free towel. Gather up the ends of the towel, hold it over the sink, and squeeze the jackfruit VERY well to remove as much liquid as possible.

Saute

Transfer the jackfruit to the pan, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.* Add 1.5 teaspoons Old Bay to the pan and stir. Cook for another minute or so, then add juice from half a lemon. Stir again, and remove from heat. Transfer jackfruit to a plate to cool.

Process

In the bowl of a large food processor combine the cooled jackfruit, chickpeas, and ½ cup mayo. Pulse 5 to 8 times. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the dulse granules, cayenne, and more mayonnaise, if desired (I used the entire batch of Aquafaba Mayo to make the tuna salad nice and tangy and rich). Pulse to combine.

Season

Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, Old Bay, dulse, and/or cayenne, as desired. Add the red onion and celery, and pulse to incorporate. Transfer vegan tuna salad to a lidded storage container, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

carrot,

celery,

dill pickles, finely diced

red onions, finely diced

lemon juice

vegan mayo

mustard

dijon

Sea salt & pepper

Add cooked chickpeas to a food processor. Pulse a few times until you achieve a mashed consistency. If you don't have a food processor, use a potato masher or a fork to achieve similar results.

Transfer the chickpeas into a large mixing bowl, then add the shredded carrots, celery, dill pickles, onions, lemon juice, mayo, mustard, Dijon, salt, and pepper.

Combine the mixture well, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve on toast, wraps, lettuce wraps, crackers, etc. Happy eating!

My partner is vegetarian so I've been eating more meatless meals since we started dating, simply because it was more convenient to cook one meal and I'd been wanting to try incorporating more veggies anyway. Now that we live together, it's a little trickier so in my hunt for easy and tasty I found this. We did deviate a little based on what we had in our kitchen so it's great on its own, super easy to modify; sweet and sour pickles for dill, and re-hydrated cranberries for a sweet kick. This is something we both see as becoming a staple in our household. The hardest part was waiting since we did the chickpeas from scratch, but after that, it came together in literal minutes. Consider this site bookmarked! &lt;3

This easy chickpea tuna salad is bright, creamy, crunchy, and a perfect vegan tuna replacement over sandwiches and crackers! The recipe is plant-based, gluten-free, easy to prepare and a great appetizer, side dish or snack.

Vegan Chickpea "Tuna" Salad

red onion (roughly chopped)

celery (chopped)

vegan mayonnaise (or tahini sauce)

dill pickles

Tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)

Dijon mustard

nori

dill

Salt and pepper (to taste)

(for serving)

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, roughly chop the red onion, celery, and dill pickles, and transfer them to a food processor along with all the remaining ingredients.

Pulse the mixture about 8-12 times until it’s well incorporated but still has plenty of texture.

OR, if you don’t have a food processor, finely dice the veggies first, transfer the chickpeas to a medium-large bowl and roughly mash them with a fork or potato masher, then add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Finally, taste the vegan tuna salad and adjust any of the flavors (mayo, lemon/lime, mustard, dill, salt & pepper). Enjoy!

Since committing to a plant-based diet, my daughter has missed one thing - Tuna salad - and she is totally happy with this version! We both loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I've been making something like this for years now, just mashing the chickpeas and adding in chopped things, but I discovered this recipe last week.. It's THE best recipe out there!! The texture of it being in the food processor is just 👌 Absolutely delicious. I use a bit of soya Greek yoghurt instead of mayo and it's perfect 👌😍

This is super amazing! Thank you for this recipe!

Ela!!! I don’t know how you do it. But this is fabulous. Reminds so much of the tuna salad I used to love. I can’t tell the difference. Except no fishes were harmed in the making! Thank you!!

I always made the Kripalu Yoga Center version of this called " Chickpea of the sea"  but quite frankly Ela, yours is better. and even better the next day for work lunches.
Thanks for the great recipe! 😀

Texture and taste wise, we could not tell the difference from a canned tuna fish salad. But, more importantly, this was an easy recipe to prepare and the perfect light meal for a hot summer day.
