The taste and consistency is very much like tuna fish, especially when you add mayonnaise (veganaise) and lemon juice. You can substitute the mayo with blended avocado or a dressing of your choice, and add pickles, onions and/or olives.
The base is (cooked/canned) chickpeas and celery, but I also like to include carrots as well as different herbs and seasonings.
It's easiest to use a food processor using the 'S' knife to prepare it. Each ingredient should be chopped or 'pulsed' separately for just a few seconds each. If you over-blend it gets too mushy, so be careful.
Delicious in a pepper...
In a seaweed wrap...
In a salad...
Some people add salt. I like to use Ume Plum Vinegar, which is healthier than salt but satisfies that flavor. You can read about it here and find it at Whole Foods.
No worries (or excuses!) if you don't own a food processor, you can use a salad chopper or chop very fine on your own.
Hope you enjoy! Wishing you excellent health today and always...
