😋 Let's talk Taste

To give an honest review about the taste of this Vegan Tuna Sandwich, it's just incredible! 😋 The creamy texture of Tuna is exactly the same as that of mashed Chickpeas. Also, this is equally creamy and flavorful. Just perfect. I do miss the seafood flavors a bit but you can get that as well if you're using Nori Sheets or Dried Konbu Dashi. 😋😋😋

🥘 Ingredients

Chickpea Tuna Salad Sandwich ingredients
  • Chickpea (soaked overnight or canned)
  • Red Onion
  • Bell Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Vegan Mayo
  • Lemon Juice
  • Parsley

See the recipe card for quantities. Also, watch the video for a quick visual.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

This Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich is so easy and needs just two steps to make it. Also, you're going to love making this because it's so easy!

STEP 1: Pulse all the ingredients

  • Pulse Chickpea along with all the other ingredients in a food processor.
  • You can also do this step using a Mortar and Pestle or using two forks. It'll take some time and effort to do it but is totally possible.

STEP 2: Serve

  • Serve in between two crusty toasted Breads.

Hint: For even better texture, use cooked Chickpeas. After you've soaked the Chickpeas overnight, boil them for about 15-20 minutes covered, over medium-high heat. This will make it easier for you to pulse them and also you'll get the exact texture of creamy Tuna in a Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich!!!
