Ocean and land salad - not tuna

[Guest guest]

This is the best not-tuna salad for me so far. Hijiki is probably

the strongest most assertive tasting sea vegetable. It happened to

be the only one in my fridge at the moment. It does not taste strong

on this salad, however, you might want to substitute a milder sea

veggie (arame, wakame, dulse, nori) if you prefer.

 

Ocean and land salad - not tuna

 

1 can chickpeas (15 oz or so)

1 package firm nori mu tofu (14 oz)

1/4 cup dry hijiki (or other sea vegetable that you like - soaked for

10 minutes in boiling water to cover. Remove from soaking water and

mince.

1/2 cup minced mixed parsley and scallions

1/4 cup minced pickes (I used equal parts beet, hot pepper and

cucumber pickes)

1 minced bell pepper of any color

1 tbsp mustard of choice

1 tbsp chow chow or any sweet relish

1 tsp lemon pepper

1/4 cup minced celery (optional)

1 tsp tony chacharaze or other creole seasoning

2 tbsp veganaise or other mayonaise of choice

1 tbsp all i oli (or add some minced garlic) (optionsl)

Salt to taste. Taste and adjust all seasonings to your taste, add

more of something or the other....

 

Mash all ingredients with a potato masher until it has a spreading

consistency. Makes great sandwiches.
