mock tuna salad

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

chickpeas

red onion (roughly chopped)

celery (chopped)

vegan mayonnaise (or tahini sauce)

dill pickles

Tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)

Dijon mustard

nori

capers

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.
