Chickpea tuna salad

A bright, plant-based twist on a classic, this vegan chickpea “tuna” salad is creamy, zesty, and full of texture. Mashed chickpeas are tossed with crisp veggies and a savory blend of seasonings, then finished with a sprinkle of furikake for a subtle umami boost and hint of the sea—no fish required.
