Easy Vegan Tuna Salad Recipes

THE BEST VEGAN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Drain the jackfruit and place in a shallow bowl or dish. Cover with water and let soak for a few minutes while you prep the onion and celery and gather the other ingredients. Preheat a saute pan over medium heat.
• Drain the jackfruit, and place on a clean, lint-free towel. Gather up the ends of the towel, hold it over the sink, and squeeze the jackfruit VERY well to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Transfer the jackfruit to the pan, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.* Add 1.5 teaspoons Old Bay to the pan and stir. Cook for another minute or so, then add juice from half a lemon. Stir again, and remove from heat. Transfer jackfruit to a plate to cool.
• In the bowl of a large food processor combine the cooled jackfruit, chickpeas, and ½ cup mayo. Pulse 5 to 8 times. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the dulse granules, cayenne, and more mayonnaise, if desired (I used the entire batch of Aquafaba Mayo to make the tuna salad nice and tangy and rich). Pulse to combine.
• Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, Old Bay, dulse, and/or cayenne, as desired. Add the red onion and celery, and pulse to incorporate. Transfer vegan tuna salad to a lidded storage container, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Mix well to combine.
• Check for seasoning and adjust.
• Finally, add the drained tinned Sweetcorn and stir gently to incorporate.
• Serve Tuna Salad with crackers or sandwich between bread with veggies of your choice.
• Prepared Tuna Salad will last in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

VEGETARIAN/VEGAN MOCK 'TUNA' SALAD WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Place the tofu in a small bowl and then crumble or mash the tofu with a fork until it reaches the desired consistency. It should be mashed to roughly the same consistency as tuna, with a few small chunks and not completely smooth. Add the celery and onion to the bowl and gently stir to combine.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, lemon juice, and kelp. Gently add this mixture to the tofu and stir to combine.
• If you have enough time, place your vegetarian tuna salad substitute in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving so that you can serve it chilled. Give it all a gentle toss again just before serving to mix up any of the liquids which may have settled a bit.

CLASSIC VEGAN TUNA SALAD (EASY + 9-INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, add in the chickpeas. Using either a potato masher or a fork, mash the chickpeas until they resemble a "tuna" consistency. We like ours a bit chunky.
• Add in the remaining ingredients and mix everything together until smooth. You can do some additional mashing if you think that the chickpeas need to be broken down more. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• We served ours in a sandwich with thinly sliced red onions, tomatoes and lettuce.
