Mock Tuna Salad (Chickpea Salad)

Recipe #87187 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Made with chickpeas (garbanzo beans), this is a wonderful sandwich filling, especially for vegetarians who miss tuna salad. I liked it more oniony so I added a little extra minced onion, but it's still wonderful without it. I enjoyed this the most stuffed in pita bread with slices of ripe plum tomatoes, and also would serve it often on crackers as a snack or appetizer.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, combine mashed chickpeas, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, and yellow onion (if desired).
  2. 2
    Mix well.

Wow, I'm impressed! I figured I'd enjoy this since I love chickpeas, but I didn't expect to love it. I couldn't get over how tasty this is! I don't use relish or onion in my tuna, however, I prepared the recipe as written. I thought it tasted surprisingly similar to a deli tuna salad. Aside from that debate, it is a delicious sandwich spread in its own right too. Thanks for sharing a great new alternative for lunch!

    Calling this Mock Tuna Salad is a little deceiving, it tasted nothing like tuna, however, I still think this is a delicious veg sandwich option. I definitely get a little tired of egg salad and this hits the spot. Great recipe!

    WOOOOOOO!! This is FABULOUS stuff! I must admit, I am NOT a relish fan, so by bumblebee's suggestion, I decided to dice up some cucumber, soaked in some italian dressing, and added a pinch of sugar as well. I used a bit more onion, and it was absolutely FABULOUS! The italian dressing really added a lovely zing to the recipe, which I believe was a taste I would prefer over the relish flavor and I love the addition of the mustard! Thanks! Served in a pita with the tomato as suggested above. This is a fabulous lunch! I will have this again

    Fantastic!!! I made a double batch and used a whole small yellow onion, had to leave out the green onions (didn't have any). It made a great sandwich for lunch. Next day for dinner, I added some finely chopped hard boiled egg to the mixture and used it as a filling for "stuffed tomatoes".....way better than tuna! (Yes, I'm a veggie).
