Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich

"I love this Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich, because it brings me back in time and it’s not hurting my health or my sea-friends. I use Hearts of Palm, which have a very similar texture to fish when it’s broken up. It doesn’t taste like tuna, but that’s where the seasonings come in, to create a subtle sea-like flavor. I also used Garbanzo Beans (a.k.a chickpeas), which have a flaky-like texture when broken up. They also add a nice dose of protein to the recipe. So, basically these two ingredients will be replacing the tuna and creating that flaky, tuna-like texture. I use kelp or dulce flakes to give this vegan tuna salad a subtle hint of the ocean. It’s not needed, but adds a nice flavor and natural source of iodine to the recipe (nori can also be used). This Vegan Tuna salad Sandwich is so easy to make and can be ready in less than 20 minutes. It yields about 3-4 sandwiches and it can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. So, it’s perfect for making ahead and saving time. This vegan tuna recipe is on the kid-friendly side, so feel free to add some diced red onions, bell pepper, olives or peppeorchini to the mix. This mixture can be enjoyed as a healthy snack too, with some crackers or veggie sticks for dipping. To make this sandwich even healthier, you can choose a gluten-free bread or even a sprouted whole grain variety."
