Vegan "Tuna" Spread

I made up this sandwich spread as an healthier alternative to canned tuna. Surprisingly, it tastes like the sea and a bit like fish thanks to the addition of seaweed.

1 15 oz can of chickpeas, drained. Or 2 cups of cooked chickpeas
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
2 tbs of roasted, shredded seaweed (nori)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp old bay seasoning
1 tbs of soy mayonnaise

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Run until the mixture has the consistency of a thick paste. Spread generous amount on a sandwich just like you would tuna salad. Makes 3-4 servings.

According to Nicki, each serving is 180 calories (for those of you watching your weight).

this looks great! when you come over, you will also definitely have to try the products by the 'vegetarische slager'. tuna salad, kroketten, 'chicken'... indistinguishable from the real deal!
