Vegan "Tuna" Sandwich
Vegan "Tuna" Salad Sandwich
There are many ways to recreate some favorite non-vegan meals so that they're suitable for a vegan lifestyle. Luckily, thanks to a favorite ingredient of vegans, tuna is no exception!
Garbanzo beans are used in this recipe to create a sandwich similar in flavor to a tuna sandwich. As a bonus, garbanzo beans are packed with iron. That is good news for anyone who has trouble consuming enough iron in their diet.
To reduce carbs, forget the bread and use this recipe to make a tuna salad. Simply scoop it over a bed of lettuce and add whatever fresh veggies you have on hand. Another option is to scoop this into a wrap or eat it with crackers or simply by the spoonful on its own!
