One thing I have been looking forward to make a vegan Tuna Salad.
Chickpea Tuna is nice and great, but for me I was looking for a more authentic way.
At this point the magic happened and I found a jar of vegan tuna in my supermarket. Yes, friends let’s make a Tuna Salad and the result is amazing and delicious.
Why you should make this recipe
It tastes like the real deal, has a great texture and creaminess, and has all the nostalgic flavors that everyone can’t get enough of it.
Tuna Salad is really easy to make: you will only need approximately 5 minutes to make it.
I use different herbs like parsley and chives and that makes all the difference. Adds simply great taste to the final result.
It is a great salad for wraps, sandwiches, salads and so much more. I like how versatile it can be.
What you need for this Tuna Salad recipe
Besides the tuna I keep it really simple for the remaining recipe ingredients
Egg free mayo and lemon juice are a great start to make a dressing: Creamy and tangy at the same time.
Red onions, celery, and pickles add texture and flavor. You have a little bit of a crunch here and there.
If there is one ingredient we won’t miss out on it is garlic. I add fresh garlic, but you can of course use garlic powder.
Parsley and chives give the Tuna Salad a lot of freshness. But of course I would guess dill can be really great as well.
How to make Tuna Salad
Get a mixing bowl ready and dice the celery, pickles, onions, and both herbs.
Transfer tuna, celery, onions, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, chives and pickles into the bowl.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.
Leftovers of the Tuna Salad will be good for around 4 days, stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
