Having recently started following a vegan diet, I am hard-pressed to find recipes that are both delicious and could fool an omnivore (my beloved husband). I have seen tons of different recipes for vegan “tuna” salad, but wasn’t real fond of any of them…so I came up with my own recipe. My husband now gets a little bit upset if there isn’t a tupperware with some chickpea salad in the fridge. And he KNOWS that it’s vegan. How cool is that? If you’re a tuna addict, this is a close second. I actually think that I could live the rest of my life eating just this on some Ezekiel 4:9 bread with a big tomato slice and some spicy sprouts. Here’s the recipe:
Brea’s Vegan “Tuna” Salad
1 can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
3 tbsp. Follow Your Heart Vegenaise (honestly, I’ve tried other brands, but this is THE BOMB. Spend the money on it-you won’t be sorry)
2 tbsp. brown mustard
1/4 c sweet or dill pickle relish (this really depends on my mood)
Method:
Smash it all together until you get the desired consitency. Feel free to play with this recipe. It lends itself to variation…sometimes I’ll chop up 1/2 an onion and add it, or some scallions…get creative!! You’ll be addicted in NO TIME!

Stupid question but does it ocntain fish? My poor family loves tuna salad but while im here its not aloud in the house
this would be great to make for them as long as its seafood frfee 
Not a stupid question at all! It contains NO fish
Just chickpeas, pickles, vegan mayo and mustard. You can also add onions or any other chopped veggies that sound appealing!
Oh awesome! Well if you dont mind ima try another recipe!
