Vegan Tuna Salad | WFPB No-Tuna Salad Sandwich | The Vegan Test Kitchen

That classic lunchtime meal, tuna salad, is veganized here with chickpeas and made even healthier by using tahini instead of mayo. It’s delicious, whole food plant based, and even a bit “fishy” if you use kelp granules!

In 2020, I finally completed my mission to cook every recipe in one of the most popular, comprehensive vegan cookbooks–the Veganomicon. Who says that year was all trash??

Welcome back to the vegan test kitchen everyone today’s recipe is so simple it’s probably going to become your next go-to lunch and because we’re continuing our whole food plant-based series it’s also oil-free which is great today we’re making a no tuna salad sandwich i think you’re gonna like it so as

Always all the ingredients that you need are listed below let’s get started all right like i said this is gonna be pretty simple there are not that many ingredients involved so the first thing you’re gonna do is grab a can of chickpeas drain it and rinse it and we’re going to

Put these in a mixing bowl all right and we are going to smash these as much as possible and you can leave some of these whole if you wish but we do want this to be more of a shredded consistency all right i think that is good now to

This we’re going to add a quarter cup of diced celery and a quarter cup of diced onion and we’re going to add a teaspoon of chopped capers along with a quarter cup of diced pickles or pickle relish one teaspoon of dijon or spicy mustard three tablespoons of tahini one

Tablespoon of agave nectar or maple syrup and an optional tablespoon of roasted unsalted sunflower seeds and of course we are going to flavor this with a little bit of black pepper and you want a healthy pinch of sea salt or in my case i’m using kelp granules because i want

To add just a little bit more of a fishy flavor to it this has a nice subtle taste of the sea if you will All right we’re just going to give this a good mix and of course you want to adjust the seasonings if you need to add a little bit more salt or kelp granules or pepper do that all right just grab some really nice healthy whole grain bread put some chopped tomatoes and onions and

Lettuce on there and you have a fantastic sandwich this is a big old sandwich So i’m going to try a little bit of this by itself too this is a really good no tuna salad i would suggest maybe cutting back on the maple syrup or agave nectar it’s a little too sweet for me i think that’s a little unnecessary but all the other flavors

Are there i mean you have the pickle which is nice the capers come through a little bit and i definitely suggest getting the kelp granules because not only is it a nice salt substitute but it does give you just a very slight fishy taste it’s not it’s not overpowering at all

But you know it’s nice and creamy that’s what the tahini is for there’s no oil no mayonnaise it’s just a really good healthy no tuna salad sandwich and you could even eat it with crackers too because you know that’s what it’s there for it also stays together really nice which
