Introduction

A super tasty vegan alternative to chicken, egg or tuna salad. There are endless combinations to this salad. I like to serve it in pitas or tortillas with spinach and peppers, but you can alter this recipe to suit your needs. I used vegenaise, but you can use any other suitable mayo substitute such as nayonaise or even a non-vegan mayo. A super tasty vegan alternative to chicken, egg or tuna salad.

    I made this and very much enjoyed it. I left out the mustard as I wanted a more tuna taste. Had as a sandwich with lettuce and toasted sprout bread. - 8/8/13

    I found the recipe too "pickly" too but I add green onion, and a dash of curry power. This additions were the right touch. I made a wrap with the spread, lettuce, tomatoe and red onions. I hardly noticed that I was eating chickpeas!! This will probably become one of my favorite meal for lunch. - 7/6/09

    This was too "pickly" and mustardy for my taste and the texture was dry. I think the pita was partially to blame. I am going to try it again and add chopped apple and perhaps nuts and leave out the relish and some of the mustard. - 6/4/08

    I didn't have any cukes so I subbed onion, celery, and red bell pepper. It was delicious and easy to make. I am already conjuring other variations! - 5/17/08
