repost Counterfeit Tuna Salad - Kathleen - Ocean salad repost

[Guest guest]

Kathleen, here is one of the ways I make it. Plenty of protein and tastes good

too! No gluten here either. Roseta

 

OCEAN 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 pickles (I used equal parts beet, hot pepper and cucumber

pickles, use your favorites)

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 mayonnaise of choice

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

 

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

consistency. Makes great sandwiches.

had added some kind of protein like frozen tofu with added flavoring like kelp

powder? As a vegetarian who has a gluten allergy, I get pretty sick of salads

with no protein because that is what I " get to eat " @ most restaurants.
