So there’s a promising recipe on http://www.exploreveg.org/resources/recipes/meals/mock-tuna-salad for Vegan Tuna Salad.
Inspiring! But of course, me being me, I bought the veganaise and forgot about the celery etc. and i have kelp at home but no kelp powder
So my mock tuna salad on corn tortillas tonight is:
- 1 can chickpeas – drain and mash (I used a potato masher)
- Veganaise – find in the refrigerated aisle by the tofu and soy cheese and vegetarian stuff
- capers
- pinch of nutritional yeast – find in the bulk section
- freshly ground pepper
- corn tortillas
Pretty happening! I think adding some TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) would give it an even better, less sandy chickpea texture.
I think the secret is the veganaise. Tried it tonight for the first time and it tastes like full fat mayo. Almost identical. Actually super delicious. No eggs, no cholesterol.
So the moral of the story is that if you mix mashed chickpeas with veganaise and added some pepper it would probably turn out good…and those 3 ingredients I can manage to keep on hand.
