Vegan chickpea salad – the best alternative to classic ‘tuna’ salad:
Chickpea tuna salad ala vegan ‘tuna’ salad is an easy and affordable back-to-school lunch. You can make a batch for the week and enjoy it on a bed of greens or as spread in a classic lunch sandwich – like here with toasted rye bread.
I’ve wanted to make this recipe in a long time now and I got so surprised at the good result and taste. And then it’s vegan and gluten-free.
I made my recipe with veggie leftovers from the fridge: Tomatoes, cucumber and red onions. But you can also use red pepper, corns, peas or use other leftover vegetables.
