Favorite lunch alert! Sometimes you can get in a rut with lunch, and though this is by no means a new idea, its a great one. And every once in a while you just needed to be reminded of what a delicious situation a ‘tuna’ salad sandwich can be. And this one is even better because no tuna were hurt!

Actually, this is a great recipe for a few reasons. It’s fast and easy, it’s high in protein, it’s super satisfying and you can fancy it up with cucumber slices or get all down and dirty with a loaded sandwich. Enjoy!

Vegan Chicpea ‘Tuna’ Salad

Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients:

1 cup canned chicpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 tablespoons onion finely diced

¼ cup celery finely diced (about 1 stalk)

3 Tablespoons Vegan Mayo

1 teaspoon Dulse

(seaweed- find it in the Asian Foods section)

¼ teaspoon salt

freshly ground pepper

Procedure:

Place drained chicpeas in a large bowl. Smash with a potato masher until there are no whole beans left.

Add in all ingredients and mix.

That’s it! You’re a superstar. Now serve to your impressed friends!
