    This vegan tuna sandwich with chickpeas is one of my all-time favorite vegan sandwiches! It’s ready in no time and it’s so incredibly yummy! And with the help of dried seaweed it tastes so much like the real thing!

    Vegan Tuna Sandwich with Chickpeas

    I used to love tuna salad and tuna sandwiches! Before I became vegan I was a huge fan of tuna salad with mayonnaise. So when I heard of vegan tuna salad with chickpeas a couple of years ago, I just had to try it. It’s kind of like jackfruit pulled pork. You just have to give it a try as a newly vegan. And boy, was I amazed! It really was amazing. It took me some while to figure out some twists that made it perfect for me. So today I got my favorite recipe for vegan tuna salad for you. It’s incredibly easy and you don’t need many ingredients to make it. And it’s packed with protein!

    Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich – What You’ll Need

    • 1 can chickpeas
    • dried Wakame seaweed
    • vegan mayonnaise
    • soy sauce
    • lemon juice
    • celery
    • dill (frozen or fresh)
    • salt
    • pepper

    As always, you can find the full recipe in a separate recipe box beneath the text section.

    Vegan Tuna Sandwich with Chickpeas

    I usually buy the dried Wakame seaweed in Asian supermarkets. I think one package is like 2 dollars or sometimes even less. So not expensive at all. And it will last for like ever because you don’t need much for the vegan tuna salad. Just crumble the seaweed with your hands and soak it in water in a shallow bowl for about 5 minutes. It will quickly soak up the water and look like actual seaweed again. It gives the vegan tuna salad recipe it’s fishy or ocean-like taste. I used store-bought vegan mayonnaise, but you can also make it yourself at home if you can’t get hold of it.

      I just made his and want to say that this is one of my favorite sandwiches ever! Like the other commenter, Janet, I too was skeptical because I’ve had a lot of “bad luck” with vegan recipes. This was absolutely delicious, and I even liked it more than a TUNA sandwich! The seaweed I think was the best part- it was nice and salty and also a bit chewy, like meat. I can’t wait to try out more of your recipes!

      Wow! This really tasted like tuna! I was a bit skeptical when I made it but I was such a tuna fan before I became vegan, so I just had to give this a try. And I’m sooooo glad I did! DELICIOUS!!!!
