Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 ounce / 425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon nori flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. In the mixing bowl, mash the drained and rinsed chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. You want some texture, not a complete puree.
  2. Add the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the mashed chickpeas. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add the finely chopped celery, red onion, and capers to the mixture.
  4. Stir in the fresh dill and nori flakes. These are key for that tuna-esque flavour.
  5. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Start with a pinch of salt and adjust as needed.
  6. Stir everything together thoroughly until well combined. Serve immediately or chill for later.
