Instructions

  • Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl and using a potato masher or fork, mash the chickpeas with a little texture but no whole chickpeas.

  • To make the tunacado sandwich, slice a bun or toast bread in a toaster or a fry pan with a drizzle of olive oil. To assemble, add the chickpea tuna salad on one side, sliced tomatoes and avocado slices on the other. Add a sprinkle of salt, add the top slice of bun or bread and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Enjoy with crackers, lettuce cups or as a sandwich.
  2. Use a gluten-free bun or wrap.
  3. Add sriracha or chili flakes to the mayo for spicier kick.
  4. Later some shredded carrots or red cabbage for extra crunch on the bun.
  5. Prepare the chickpea mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  6. Swap mayo with a tahini sauce for a different flavour profile.
