Skip the mercury and fishy smell with this yummy I-can't-believe-it's-not-tuna vegetarian tuna salad. (See the Top 10 Reasons to Skip Tuna here.)
I was playing around in my kitchen trying to create a bean dip, and the result tasted just like tuna salad! I don't know how it's possible, but I'm so glad I found this substitute, I've missed tuna salad sandwiches and tuna melts and now I have an easy vegetarian sandwich to pack for lunch. Top with romaine lettuce and a tomato on wheat bread for a healthy and satisfying lunch! You can also add chopped celery or edamame for extra protein and a crunch.
If you don't have a food processor, mash the beans and stir in the mayo then add other ingredients.
White Beans (like Garbanzo or Butter Beans)- 1 14 oz. can
White Onion- 1/4 cup, minced
Light Mayo or Cream Cheese*- 1/4 cup
Relish or Chopped Pickles- 2 tbsp. Onion Salt
Salt & Pepper- to taste
Edamame- 2/3 cup, cooked (OPTIONAL)
Celery- 1/2 cup, chopped (OPTIONAL)
Place beans, mayo, garlic salt, onion salt, salt and pepper in food processor and chop until blended.
Add edamame and chop a few more times.
Remove the blade and stir in chopped celery, onion and pickles/relish.
Serve on whole grain bread. Cook on stovetop for a vegetarian tuna melt!
