Chickpea Tuna
A simple, plant-based alternative to classic tuna salad that delivers all the familiar flavor and texture without the fish. Mashed chickpeas create a hearty, flaky base, while nori adds a subtle ocean-like depth. Comes together in minutes and is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or scooping onto crackers.
