This smashed vegan chickpea tuna salad sandwich is a take on the classic tuna salad. Unlike traditional tuna salad/chickpea salad recipes, it's made without mayo!
In a large bowl, mash chickpeas using the back of a fork or a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.
1 can chickpeas
Add carrots, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, hummus, water, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas and mix until combined.
¼ cup shredded carrots,½ small red onion,2 garlic cloves,1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice,1 tablespoon olive oil,2 tablespoons hummus,1-2 tablespoons water,¼ teaspoon paprika,salt & pepper
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Serve as a hearty sandwich as seen here, or it can be served as is, with crackers, in a wrap, on bib lettuce, and more!
