Experiment with different types of seaweed flakes to find your preferred flavor profile. Nori flakes add a subtle sweetness.
If you don't have soy mayonnaise, you can use a different vegan mayonnaise or even mashed avocado for a healthier alternative.

This salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it before serving.

    I was skeptical at first, but this salad is amazing! It really does taste like tuna salad, but without the fish. I will definitely make this again.

    The seaweed flakes make all the difference! I used nori and it gave the salad a great depth of flavor.
