fake tuna salad

I have been a lot more mindful of the food that I am consuming lately. Bruce is doing the grocery shopping when we are out of the basics, and I don't want him to have to go any more than absolutely necessary.  This means using what we have on hand and making lots of substitutions. 

This past Saturday we didn't really have anything for lunch.  Bruce remembered that he had hot dogs in the freezer, but that wasn't going to work for me.  😉  I remembered the "fake tuna salad" that I made a while back and decided that would be easy and quick.  I have several cans of chickpeas in the pantry, and I happened to have everything else that I would usually put in tuna fish, so that's what I made.  

Here is all you have to do:
  1. Roughly mash the chickpeas with the back of a fork or potato masher. Mashing the chickpeas helps hold the salad together, once the binder is added and ingredients are all mixed it will be nice thick mixture.
  2. Next, mix in celery, onion, garlic pepper, pickles, and whatever else you usually use for your tuna salad. Add your choice of mayo or hummus to help bind everything together.  I like this mayo because it doesn't have any industrial oils.  (Yes, it is a more expensive, but I stock up when it goes on sale.  We don't really use it very often, so it lasts a long time.)  
This is delicious on top of some greens or on a sandwich.  
How are you getting creative in the kitchen this week?
