Have you ever tried making Vegan Tuna before? Turns out it’s SUPER easy! It tastes delicious as a vegan tuna salad, as a filling for vegan tuna sandwiches, or simply with fresh bread.
Tear the nori sheet in little pieces, place it in a food processor, and blend until it resembles flakes.
Add the chickpeas, mayo, tahini, lemon juice, and mustard to the food processor and pulse a few times until the vegan tuna salad reaches your desired consistency. Don't overblend, you want a chunky tuna salad! Season with salt and pepper.
Place it in a bowl and toss with shallots and relish.
Serve the vegan tuna salad with bread, as a sushi filling, or make vegan tuna sandwiches with it.
Notes
Keeps fresh for 3 days. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Don't have a food processor? Chop the nori sheet very fine using a knife, and mash the chickpeas using a fork.
Tahini: Gives this vegan tuna an earthy flavor. Can be substituted with oil, vegan mayo, or almond butter.
Nori: Is essential for a fishy taste. It's the green sheet you make Sushi with. You find it in every Asian shop or within the Sushi section of every major supermarket.
