• 15 oz Chickpeas Canned or fresh
• 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• .25 cup Vegan Mayo
• .5 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• .5 tsp Salt
• .5 tsp Garlic Powder
• .5 tsp Onion Powder

• .25 cup Diced Onion
• .25 cup Spring Onion
• 1 sheet Nori Sheet

• Drain Chickpeas and add them to a mixing bowl and start mashing with a fork or masher.
• Add in other ingredients and mash.
• This process can take a few minutes. If you want it thicker, you can leave it half-mashed so that the chickpeas are somewhat intact. Or if you want more of a tuna consistency, mash until you get a smoother texture.
• Once you're happy with your desired vegan "Tuna" simply serve it on sourdough bread, in a sandwich, or in a salad.
