I have to admit that, years ago, pre-vegan, I used to eat a lot of Β tuna salad and egg salad, whether on a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce, a scoop perched on an avocado half or stuffed into a red pepper. Oh, of course, on bagels, too! They were typical go-toβs whether I was ordering it in a restaurant or making it at home. Recreating the texture and flavor of these lunch time standards was a puzzle to veganize, at firstβ¦.until I realized thatΒ garbanzosΒ are the answer! Since fish carry so many toxins and eggs are high in cholesterol, I think itβs time for you to try my really delicious Garbanzo Salad. Itβs a great alternative to the animal-derived lunchtime ho-hums and you are getting nothing but health in this yummy salad!! I hate to even use the word βsubstituteβ in regard to my Garbanzo Salad because this recipe stands strongly on itβs own and everyone in my family scarfs it down in no time at all!
One of the keys to making this recipe authentic is to use an awesome vegan mayo. I happen to love Just Mayo by Hampton Creek. Besides being vegan, itβs non-GMO, gluten-free, egg-free, cholesterol-free, soy-free, dairy-free, lactose-free and kosher! I also add MCT Lean OilΒ because of the health benefits and in place of an additional spoon of mayo.Β
