Introduction

There's no fish in this recipe. It's a great alternative to tuna salad. Feel free to sub out the bell pepper for celery for a more traditional recipe, I just don't like celery in my salads.

Minutes to Prepare: 10

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed

- 1/4 small onion chopped/minced fine

- 2 tbsp Veganaise (I use the high omega 3 version)

- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (green, red, yellow, whatever!)

- 2 tsp Dijon mustard

- dash salt

- .5 tsp black pepper

- .5 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor until it's the flaky consistency of a canned "tuna". Stir in veganaise and all the other ingredients.

Spread on bread for sandwiches, or just eat straight up it's that good.

Stays well in an airtight container for a few days.
