10 Minute Vegan Tuna Salad

Vegan Tuna Salad! My vegetarian alternative to real tuna, tastes like classic version but fish free! DELICIOUS 10 minute recipe! Perfect in a sandwich, wrap, with crackers, on lettuce or grilled as a tuna melt! Easy Healthy lunch! Gluten free.

WOW wait until you taste this easy vegan tuna recipe!

If you’re a lover of a good tuna fish sandwich like I was, then this recipe is for you! -My vegan tuna salad!  That’s right- a Mock version with no tuna and it tastes incredibly similar! Made with chickpeas and hearts of palm, vegan mayo, which creates a flaked texture similar to tuna! Ready in no time! No tofu or jackfruit.

So no need for a can of tuna or a stop at subway! Make my plant based version at home and keep those fishies swimming - and FYI vegan store bought canned tuna is not pleasant in my opinion

My family was shocked at how good this tuna salad sandwich was! It will totally satisfy that fish craving  -Make it you'll be glad you did! As far as vegan recipes go this ones up there!! Says everyone who’s tried it😊

Adapted from my vegan chickpea salad sandwiches with sunflower seeds! - Equally tasty!

FAQ:

Is vegan tuna good for you?

• Yes it is healthy as it is usually prepared from chickpeas and sometimes hearts of palm which are both good for you. And of course contains no actual tuna fish.

What does it taste like?

• Vegan tuna salad actually has a similar taste to tuna because of the seaweed ingredient, capers, mayo, and pickle juice or lemon. The texture is great too.

What are hearts of palm?

• Hearts of palm is a vegetable taken from the inner core of palm trees. They are cut into cylinders and packed in either water or brine. Have a taste similar to artichokes but milder. You can usually find them in the canned vegetable aisle. They contain many healthy nutrients and are high in protein and fibre. I often buy mine at Walmart and find them affordable.

Tips:
