Chickpea “Tuna” Salad
This recipe is the closest I’ve come to replicating tuna salad like I used to eat it when I was growing up. It’s really good in a sandwich, or just with crackers for a snack! This might be too bland for some people, so feel free to adjust the amounts to your liking. If you want it to be more “fishy” tasting, throw in some kelp powder or dulce.
ChickPea “Tuna” Salad
- 1 can of chickpeas (16-ish oz)
- 1/4c-1/2c Vegan mayo (i use veganaise)
- 1 1/2 tbsp dill relish
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 or 2 medium sized celery stalks, chopped
- 1/2c walnuts, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions: Drain chickpeas, and puree with a food processor, blender, or even just a fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix! fast and easy!
By the way, that’s just some paprika on top! :) Enjoy.

Oh nice! I made a chickpea tuna salad for a picnic a few weekends ago, and it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to try this!

This is really speaking to me - looks so good! Love the paprika. I do that a lot, both with paprika and with chili powder. Nice.

I just made this, and it is really good. Definitely the closest thing to tuna that I’ve found.
