Better than Tuna

By Pauline Sullivan


Better than Tuna , .


This chickpea vegan "tuna" salad is an easy, satisfying and delicious vegan alternative to the usual non-vegan sandwich fillers. Enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans, it is also much more affordable than tuna or chicken salad and it can be available for a weeks worth of lunches if prepared ahead. In our house, it never lasts that long!

Ingredients :
  • (2) 15oz cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas)

  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
