😋 Let's talk Taste

To give an honest review about the taste of this Vegan Tuna Sandwich, it's just incredible! 😋 The creamy texture of Tuna is exactly the same as that of mashed Chickpeas. Also, this is equally creamy and flavorful. Just perfect. I do miss the seafood flavors a bit but you can get that as well if you're using Nori Sheets or Dried Konbu Dashi. 😋😋😋

🥘 Ingredients

• Chickpea (soaked overnight or canned)
• Red Onion
• Bell Pepper
• Garlic Powder

STEP 1: Pulse all the ingredients

STEP 2: Serve
