Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 small celery stalk, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons dill pickles, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Whole grain or gluten-free bread (for serving)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture.

    Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sriracha, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas and mix until well combined.

      Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, dill pickles, and parsley. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the spices to your preference.

          To assemble the sandwich, take a slice of your choice of bread and spread a generous serving of the chickpea tuna salad on top.

            If desired, add lettuce leaves and avocado slices for added flavor and texture.

              Top with another slice of bread, slice in half, and serve immediately.

                Enjoy your delicious and zesty vegan tuna salad sandwich!
