Chickpea of the Sea Salad

If you haven't had a traditional tuna salad sandwich in 15 years like me, this will bring back some fishy memories!  

If you feel this needs to remind you more of a tuna salad, you can add dehydrated sea veggies to give it a more ocean-y flavor. 

Better yet - if you are a meat eater and having company, make this for a loved one who is on a plant based diet.   Hand them the recipe first so they don't get too suspicious!

Chickpea of the Sea Salad

By Sharon Oliver

1 can chickpeas, drained & pulsed in the food processor to resemble flaked tuna

1/3 cup chopped celery

1/3 cup chopped sweet or green onions

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

1/4 cup plant based oil-free mayo (I use and love the cashew tofu mayo from  Fat Free Vegan)

1 tbs lemon juice, or more to taste

1 tsp dried dill 

salt & pepper to taste

Gently mix ingredients together in a bowl.   Enjoy plain or as a sandwich filling!
