Plant Based Chickpea “Tuna” Salad

Weirdly enough, as a kid/human who kinda hates fish…I always LOVED tuna. Like canned tuna fish, about the fishy fish there is! And once I went vegan, this fish-hating tuna-loving gal truly missed a good tuna salad. This recipe can be made in 5-10 minutes (depending on how fast you chop) and works great on its own as a dip, on a bagel, or as part of my delicious crunchy chickpea “tuna” melt!
