Julie’s Vegan Toona Salad Sandwich
Looking for a vegan tuna salad swap? Try chickpeas!
For the salad:
1 (14-oz) can organic white beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup vegan mayo
1 teaspoon organic Dijon or spicy brown mustard
¼ cup red onion, diced
¼ cup celery, diced
¼ cup pickle, diced
1 teaspoon capers, drained and loosely chopped
pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
For serving:
Grain-free bread or buns
Dijon or spicy brown mustard
Romaine lettuce
Tomato, sliced
Red onion, sliced
Directions:
- Place the beans or chickpeas in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork, leaving only a few beans whole.
- Add vegan mayo, mustard, red onion, celery, pickle, capers, salt and pepper, and hemp seeds (if using) to mixing bowl. Mix to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Toast bread if desired, and prepare any other desired sandwich toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, and onion).
- Scoop a healthy amount of the chickpea mixture (about ½ cup) onto one slice of bread, add desired toppings and top with the second slice of bread. Repeat for the additional vegan toona sandwich.
