Recipe: Raw Vegan Tuna Salad

I make "tuna salad" with:
soaked cashews,
soaked sunflower seeds,
fresh lemon juice,
dill,
onion,
green onion,
thinly sliced celery
& a bit of salt

Here is another recipe (from ezhealthydiet.com):

Simple Tuna Salad Recipe – Easy Tuna Salad Recipe

Serves 4 (approximately ½ cup servings)

Equipment needed: Food processor

¾ cup soaked sunflower seeds (soak ½ cup raw seeds for 8 hours)
½ cup soaked almonds (soak 1/3 cup raw almonds for 8 hours)
2 stalks celery diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dry dill weed
¼ teaspoon herbemare
1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Place all ingredients in the food processor with the S blade in place and process to desired consistency. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.

If you prefer a more traditional tuna salad recipe you can fold into the tuna mixture, by hand, 2 tablespoons of homemade vegan mayonnaise. This really makes it delicious. Serve on a bed of romaine lettuce and top with sliced grape tomatoes. This makes an especially wonderful and healthy dish for a ladies luncheon. If you like, you can put the simple tuna salad recipe in whole wheat wraps and top with sprouts…you’ll think you are eating the real deal and the best part is, you won't have any fishy aftertaste.

So go ahead and try this simple tuna salad recipe and see if it doesn't taste just like the real thing.

This recipe was inspired by Kim Wilson’s Everyday Wholesome Eating...In the Raw.
