Vegan Tuna
This vegan tuna is simply amazing. It’s so easy to make and tastes remarkably close to actual tuna, no really it does. It’s wonderful on sandwiches for a vegan tuna salad sandwich!

Notes
We used one 15-ounce (425g) can of chickpeas, drained. If you would prefer to use cooked chickpeas (not canned) then the amount to use is 1 and ½ cups.
Leftovers keep very well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
This is divine served on open faced sandwiches with lettuce and sliced tomato and makes enough to top 4 slices of bread.
