We love this healthy and delicious Easy Vegan Oil-free Chickpea “Tuna” Salad Sandwich recipe. It was one of the first recipes that we made after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle. I was amazed that we didn’t have to give up on any of the flavors or textures after cutting out the animal products. We just had to think outside of the box and recreate our old favorites in a new compassionate way. Veganizing our lives has been such a joy! Give it a try for yourself and let me know what you think!

Some extra tips
Please use organic products when possible. Always read the ingredient list to make sure you get what you want. It’s been so eye-opening reading food labels for the last couple of years. My son is sensitive to cow’s milk, therefore we’ve been making sure he’s dairy-free for a long time now. Even before we made the full switch to being vegan. It’s been so amazing to watch his asthma and skin issues just disappear and seeing him thrive.
We’ve been finding lots of interesting and surprising ingredients like added oil, dairy, all sorts of sweeteners, and other additives we never heard of in foods that we thought were healthy. But, it’s not about being perfect, just doing the best we can and always learning how to expand our compassion to ourselves, our planet, and the animals. One meal at a time.
We really hope you’ll enjoy this recipe. If you make it, please tag us on Instagram and tell us what you think. Love to hear from you! Smaklig mÃ¥ltid!
