Light Mock “Tuna” Salad Sandwich

This is the lighter version of the mock tuna salad. While I don’t typically count calories, this sandwich only has 295 calories  so it’s perfect to pair with a vegetable soup or another side dish. It also makes a great snack spread onto crackers. It’s soy and gluten-free too for all of those with food allergies/intolerances. I will be posting a heartier version in the coming weeks for a tuna melt and also a nicoise salad 🙂

Makes 2 servings / sandwiches

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup garbanzo beans (or chick peas)
• 4 slices gluten-free bread
• 1- 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 tbsp chopped white onion (optional)
• 1 roma tomato or 10 cherry tomatoes
• A handful of baby mixed greens
• 1 tbsp veganaise (I use soy-free)
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 2 tsp capers
• A few dashes of dried dill spice
• A few dashes of salt and pepper, to taste

To make:

Toast gluten-free bread. In a small bowl, mash garbanzo beans with a fork.

Add veganaise, dijon mustard, celery, white onion, dill, salt and pepper. Mix together the ingredients well. Slice cherry tomatoes into halves.

 

Top gluten-free toast with half of the mixture, sliced roma or halved cherry tomatoes and baby mixed greens. Enjoy!
