For a tangier flavor, add an extra teaspoon of rice vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash some of the chickpeas with a fork before adding them to the blender. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of black pepper. For a different flavor profile, try adding a tablespoon of capers or chopped olives. This vegan tuna salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
3 mins
In a blender, combine the olive oil and soy milk. Blend on medium speed until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, about 2-3 minutes.
02
Step
1 mins
Add the sea salt, sugar, and Dijon mustard to the blender. Turn the blender back on to low speed. Slowly drizzle in the rice vinegar through the opening in the lid until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
03
Step
1 mins
Add the drained chickpeas, chopped dill pickles, celery, dried minced onion, and dried dill weed to the blender. Pulse the mixture until everything is evenly chopped and combined, but still retains some texture. Avoid over-blending; you want it to resemble tuna salad, about 30-60 seconds.
04
Step
30 mins
Transfer the vegan tuna salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled on your favorite bread, crackers, or as a salad topping.
