Before going vegan, my partner Cam’s go-to quick snack was a tuna sandwich, so I was super excited to try and recreate a similar version for him. I’m not going to say this tastes exactly like tuna, but it's delicious, and the nori brings a nice sea-like taste to it. It’s packed with nutrients, high in protein, and we even get omega-3s with hemp seeds. I like to make a batch to keep in the fridge. It’s so convenient to have on hand for a quick snack! Chickpea tuna is one of those classic vegan substitution recipes - I think there are as many versions on the internet as there are vegan food pages. We hope you love this healthy take on it and please let us know in the comments below if you have your own version!

To a food processor, add the chickpea, lemon juice, avocado, silken tofu, hemp seeds, dill, nori powder, capers, dijon and salt. Process to combine, but not too long. We want to keep a bit of texture in the mix. You could also use a fork to mash it up.

Step 2

To build the sandwich, toast the bread, and layer one slice with mustard and the other one with the chickpea tuna mix. Top the tuna mix with pickled onion, avocado, cucumber, broccoli sprouts, and lettuce and close your sandwich.
