Chickpea “Tuna” Salad

Chickpea “Tuna” Salad is the ideal alternative when you are craving a tuna salad sandwich but don’t want tuna (think vegan, vegetarian, or just a fish-hater).  It’s got all of the yumminess of tuna salad but made with mashed chickpeas.  You’ve got mayo, Dijon mustard, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and dill.  Pop it on some nice toasted bread and you will swear you are eating tuna!

This is one of the easiest recipes to make!  Simply mash the chickpeas in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.

Seriously…that’s it!

Distribute it between slices of toasted bread or top it on a bed of salad greens.  You’ll be very happy you did!
