How to Make a Vegan “Tuna” Melt
This scrumptious sammie starts with fiber-rich chickpeas! They do a surprisingly good job of mimicking the taste of canned tuna and they hold their own with a hearty, nutty flavor that we really love. First, we mash the chickpeas by hand and mix them with creamy vegan mayo, zesty dijon mustard, diced shallots, dill pickles, and the ever-essential salt and pepper! YUM. Once mixed, the vegan “tuna” is suuuper creamy! It has plenty of saltiness and brightness to balance the richness of vegan mayo and really keeps you going back for more. Next, we spread vegan butter on one side of our bread for extra toasty results. And yes, it’s true: Any kind of bread will work here! White, wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free all work beautifully. Then, you can make our Easy Vegan Cheddar Cheese for extra meltiness, or use your favorite store-bought vegan cheese! Lastly, we assemble our vegan tuna melt right in the pan! Bread, cheese, “tuna,” bread, and flip! We like our bread toasty and caramelized, and we make sure to give the cheese time to get niiice and melty. Are you drooling yet? We hope you LOVE this vegan “tuna” melt! It’s:SaltySavoryCreamyComfortingSatisfying& Classic! It’s delicious on its own but also pairs beautifully alongside soup or salad for a satisfying, protein-packed lunch or dinner!
