This is one of my latest addictions.I love this stuff, it is so delicious!!
Tuna was a big part of my childhood. One of my favorite lunches to take to school was a tuna salad sandwich (slathered in mayo).
Even though it smelled kind of weird, I didn't care! It was worth it 😀
Anyway, this is a healthier spin on a classic lunchtime food that is way lower in calories. And 100% plant-based, woohoo!
It's also gluten-free, oil-free, and low-fat! This recipe is perfect on a sandwich or with crackers to satisfy your tuna salad craving. It's also sooo easy to make! Enjoy!

Looks good gotta try it.
Thanks
Just came across recipe yesterday had all of the ingredients except celery had to try as I was craving tuna. It's "delish" will definitely try red onions on my next go round!!
YAY! SO glad you enjoyed this recipe! 😁 It's one of my faves!
This looks great. Its almost exactly like the recipe I served at my coffee shop, I just added chopped red onion. Thats crazy. Well I can say I know this is super yummy. Its amazing how the garbanzo beans taste like (or in my opinion are even better) than tuna.
Onion would be a fantastic addition!! Yum! Will have to try that next time 🙂 Better than tuna, for sure! Thanks for your comment, Patrick!
I love this. Have you tried this with navy beans or Jackfruit? I wonder if that would work as well. Totally trying this out this weekend. Yum!
Hi Anna!
I have never tried with either of those (and I've never actually had Jackfruit!!), but I am pretty sure navy beans would work wonderfully. Since I've never tried Jackfruit I can't vouch for it, but would love to hear how it turns out 🙂
Warmly,
Annie
