Not-Tuna Salad Sandwich
Growing up, I was a huge tuna sandwich fan. Had it almost every day for lunch. I’m sure my body is still attempting to detox from all that mercury.
The kelp, onion, and celery in this spread provide a similar sea-like taste and texture, but with way more nutrition and minus the mercury poisoning. Serve with tomatoes, avocadoes, and greens on your favorite bread. Goes well with rice crackers, too!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups chickpeas (or 1 can, rinsed)
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs Vegenaise
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tbs parsley, chopped
1 1/2 tsp dried kelp powder
sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Use a masher to mash the chickpeas. Add celery and onions and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix again. Easy!










Donna,Thanks for this great recipe! I made it the other day with a 100% canola mayo (since I can’t use the vegan mayo) and it was wonderful! For my kids I scooped it on the brown rice english muffins, topped with the veggie cheese and toasted in the oven. A not-tuna melt! They LOVED it!!
A not-tuna melt!!! I LOVE it! Will definitely have to try this. Thanks so much for the suggestion, Allison. Way to make it your own!
