Vegan "Tuna" Sandwich

Making this on repeat. So delicious.

Interesting! Nice easy lunch.

Such a delicious, easy meal that I’ll be returning to regularly for my meal prep rotation!

I've enjoyed this recipe many times and it's always great! I just omit celery because my religion forbids it 😅
Nevertheless, it's fulfilling and enjoyable 😊

I like to batch make this and eat it with crackers for lunches. Yum! ☺️

Absolutely delicious! ❤️ Even fish eating husband likes it

This was incredible! I doubled the amount of garlic powder as it wasn’t enough for me. I also omitted the radishes and added some spicy mayo. So delicious! I also personally found this to be enough for three sandwiches. I’d certainly remake for a quick and easy meal.

A basic that I have started making on repeat for my colleagues and I for a quick yet flavorful lunch

Absolutely delicious! Such a great lunch food. I used the filling in a wrap with lettuce and cucumber and it was perfect.
Also I didn't have any onion, so I added some onion powder and that was a nice substitute!

As a vegan I am usually a bit skeptical to try 'fish' alternatives since I don't like the taste and texture of them, but I gave this a try and it was SUPERB.
It is so much like tuna that I'd be fooled in a blind taste test!

I chose to grind the nori sheets which made the flavour much more uniform and served it with some sliced cucumbers on toast and it was fantastic.
Thank you PUL team!

Aww we're so thrilled that this alternative worked out, Nadin. The nori grind sounds like a genius idea for an even flavour as well!

A future favorite for sure! Made this for our lunch today and all 3 kids + myself said it needs to be on repeat! So good!

Hi TC! We're so happy to hear that the whole family enjoyed the sandwiches!

I think it’s my favourite breakfast now! And lunch and dinner too, depends on the day. So easy to make, so filling and flavourful. I personally love pickles here, but sometimes I make the recipe with a fresh cucumber.

Yayy it means so much to hear that the "tuna" sandwich is being enjoyed, Sofia! Thanks a bunch 😊

So good! Another delicious recipe! ☺️

I made this recipe without the nori. It has too much of the taste of the sea for me. I thought that this was a good recipe. It was very easy to put together and make in a pinch.

Nice and filling but too salty for my liking. Will experiment with the amount of salt and soy sauce next time.

I have yet to make a PUL recipe that my husband and I didn't like and this is no exception. A couple of comments: a bit too much more seaweed for my taste, so I would cut it back to about a 1/2 sheet. Also I have really good, sharp knives but found that scissors worked better in cutting the nori. I have since learned that you can also buy it flaked or shredded, which I might do next time. I served it on roasted sourdough with homemade pickled turnip and carrots and micro greens on top. Not only was it pretty but it added to the flavor. I too skipped the pickle in the recipe. Overall a nice sandwich recipes to add to the rotation.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback on the vegan tuna sandwich, Lisa! We're glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, and love your idea of using scissors for the nori - super practical 🤗

I enjoyed this 🙂

Very good! I skipped the pickles since I didn't have any, but I replaced them with some sweet corn.

I LOVE this!!! I didn’t use nori because I’m not a fan of ocean flavors, but it was so good. Definitely going into the rotation :)

I absolutely love this recipe (with some changes). 😍 I skipped the celery as I'm not a fan of it and the pickles as I didn't have any. I used the PUL mayonnaise recipe, which works like a charm. After the first tasting, I added a second sheet of nori seaweed because it already tasted great, but I wanted to bring out more of the sea flavor. Added a splash of lemon juice as well. Quick and easy but full of flavor, this will be a regular for sure 😍

PUL Team - July 28, 2024, 8:01 p.m.

Hey Nie! We're thrilled you loved the recipe and made it your own! Adding extra nori and a splash of lemon juice sounds delicious. How lovely to hear it'll become a regular for you too 🥰

Really tasty and so quick to make! Another PUL winner 🥇

LOVE this recipe. It's so easy to make and customize. I usually add some Dijon mustard and capers. This is now in my regular rotation 😍

Yum! I made this for my meal prep and had to dig right in! It's not 100% there with the tuna taste for me (I used a different seaweed though whose instructions said to use it very sparingly because of the iodine content - maybe that's why!), but it's still really delicious, rich-tasting and satisfying because of the flavorful ingredients! I added a bit more onion as well as parsley to the recipe, and will also try an extra splash of lemon for extra zest. And a lettuce leaf on the sandwich just for funsies ;)

That sounds like a delicious and adventurous meal prep! Experimenting with ingredients is always fun. Thanks, Julie 😊

Easy to make and delicious. I could eat only the salat without anything, it’s just delicious:)

Wow! Wasn't expecting this to be THAT good! Absolutely delicious 😋

Super quick, easy and extremely delicious 🤤🤤

Deliciuos 😋

This recipe is just excellence, easy to make and so delicious, thank you again for these delicious recipes.

Love this; it is my go-to quick lunch and lasts really well in the fridge for a couple of days.
Agree with some of the comments- check the saltiness before adding any more.
Really does taste like a nice tuna salad spread and easy to make in minutes.

Hey there, Molly, so glad that you're enjoying the "tuna" salad and thanks for the tip 😊✨

Really tastes like tuna! Definitely going to make this again .

Uh, i love this! It tastes great, and its healthy. But be careful with the salt. My myonnaise was a bit more salty than others I guess, but I didnt need any extra salt.

made this, it's really easy and quick. i also used the vegan mayo recipe from this app which went super well together 🥰

Amazing recipe. I had it to potatos instead of bread. Absolutely amazing too!
I use to crave tuna from time to time. With this recipe I get nearly there 😃👍

This Veg Tuna has become a staple in our house. We have it almost every week. Tonight we substituted chickpeas with cannellini beans - because we had had chickpeas at lunchtime- and it was super, with cherry tomatoes on top. Hugs from Italy!

PUL Team - March 15, 2024, 10:55 p.m.

Ooo love this idea, Renata, thanks so much! Sending lots of love to Italy 🥰

Just made it and it’s so delicious!

This is soooooo yummy. I have make a big portion

I've tried so many different recipes for a tuna substitute and they have all fallen a bit flat. This one is so full of flavour and is by far the best recipe I've tried! I've made a batch of this to keep in the fridge, so good!

PUL Team - Feb. 27, 2024, 9:05 p.m.

Woop woop! So glad that the "Tuna" sandwich was enjoyed, Rob 🤗

Chickpea salad variations are a staple for me, and this one is spot on. I used roasted kumara "slices" in place of bread to make it a bit more whole foodsy. So good :)

PUL Team - Feb. 20, 2024, 6:41 p.m.

So happy to hear that the recipe was enjoyed, Kim! Gotta love chickpea salad variations 🙌

This is soooo good!!!

Almost forgot it wasn't tuna, so good!

This is the best tuna replacement I've had! I was too tired to chop so popped everything into the food processor and it was done it seconds! Delicious!

PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2024, 11:54 p.m.

Love popping everything into the food processor for extra convenience! So glad the sandwich was enjoyed too, Rachel :)

Amazing! I don't like raw celery, so I replaced it with some fenugreek powder. So so good. Better than store-bought.

PUL Team - Feb. 9, 2024, 9:22 p.m.

A lovely idea, Ioana, thank you!

The day before I made this I decided to finally open a tin of some sort of fake tuna made from pea protein. It was okay in the sandwich. The next day I planned on using it up but decided instead to make a slightly altered version of this based on the ingredients I had with a comparison in mind. I didn't have radishes or pickles so I used capers instead. There was no comparison! This dish surpasses the tinned alternative in every way. It's absolutely delicious and I love how quick it is to whip up. My toddler loves it too and it's reassuring to know it's so nutritious.
Thank you again!

Gosh we're so excited to hear that the "tuna" sandwich was enjoyed, Phillipa, it means so much! Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe 🤗

One of my go-to breakfast !

Very nice and very easy to make. My non vegan friends liked it as well

Omg..I'm in love. When I found out that eating tuna regularly was very problematic, I was really desperate to find something that was a good alternative. This is it you guys!! I'm sooo happy that this tastes wonderful and is also healthy. Thank you💕

PUL Team - Jan. 29, 2024, 5:35 a.m.

We're so thrilled to hear you're enjoying the "Tuna" sandwich, Christine! It means so much 🥰

it is better then tuna! loved this one with all my cells! :)

PUL Team - Jan. 26, 2024, 5:03 p.m.

Gotta love nourishing the cells, Aura 🥰

So luscious! We devoured it very quickly! I used capers bc I didn’t have pickles and it worked out really well. I can’t wait to make it again and follow the exact recipe!

Very tasty and easy to make

Surprisingly delicious. I was skeptical at the ingredients but they come together so nicely!!

I used green onion instead of red onion for nicer breath around the office 😉

PUL Team - Jan. 11, 2024, 7:17 p.m.

Hehe a lovely idea, Yuliya 😜

Simple and yummy! I loved this. My son added apple chunks to his and enjoyed that, too :)

O.M.G. !!! You have revolutionised this dish! I thought the dressing ingredients were a bit strange, but wow! I LOVE this! I am yet to have dinner and I have to contain myself so I don't just eat this all now! Thank you, Sadia and the whole PUL team for this version of my favourite chick pea sandwich.

PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 7:49 a.m.

Gosh, Rajni, you're too kind! Thank YOU for the glowing review and support. It means the world 🥰

Yuliya N - Jan. 11, 2024, 5:57 a.m.

I came here to say the same thing! The tamari and rice vinegar were so odd but the chickpeas absorbed the taste so well!

omg so good!!

Excellent omg. This is so good i really wouldn’t know it’s not tuna

Quick, easy to make and also very tasty!

PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 7:40 a.m.
