Chickpea “Tuna” Salad

Writer's picture: Jessica's Creative KitchenJessica's Creative Kitchen


I've seen the recipes for this mock tuna salad before and honestly, I didn't buy into it. It wasn't until my friend made it for our cooking group that I got to try it and I quickly became a fan! 

 

It's best when chilled, so allow about an hour for it to cool properly. I ate mine in romaine lettuce boats lined with cucumbers and tomatoes. I even ate it spread on top of cucumber slices. This would also be delicious served on your favorite bread or even with crackers.

 

I doubled this recipe so it lasted for a few days :) 

 

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 14 oz can, drained and rinsed)

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery

  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder

  • 2 1/2 tbsp tahini

  • 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

  • Sea salt, to taste (optional)

  • Optional: 1 tbsp shredded nori (didn't have, so didn't use)


Directions:

Add the chickpeas to a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until almost completely smooth.

 

Add the red onion, celery, mustard powder, dill and nori, if using. Stir to combine. In a small bowl mix together the tahini and lemon juice.  Once blended well, add to the chickpea mixture and stir until combined. 

 

Can be eaten immediately, but tastes best chilled.
