Chickpea

Chickpeas are surprisingly fishy, and when they're mashed, taste a lot like tuna! Mix it with nori and the usual tuna salad suspects (like carrots and onion) for a vegan 'tuna' sandwich.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ sheet nori (dried seaweed), torn into small pieces
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
⅓ cup minced or finely grated carrot
⅓ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons fresh dill
½ teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
8 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
8 lettuce leaves
8 tomato slices

Steps:

  • Pulse nori in a blender until it's a fine powder. Set aside to let dust settle.
  • Mash chickpeas with a sturdy fork or a small-holed potato masher (chickpeas slip through larger, zigzag-type mashers) in a large bowl until most are broken up. Do not overmash--they should retain some texture.
  • Stir in mayo and mash a little more. Stir in nori powder, carrot, celery, onion, dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • For the sandwiches, slather toast with mayo (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per slice). Layer salad, lettuce, and tomato between toast slices. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally.

These chickpea tuna salad sandwiches are amazing! The combination of chickpeas, tuna, and veggies is so flavorful and satisfying. I love that they're a healthier alternative to traditional tuna salad sandwiches, but they still taste just as good.
