Ingredients
  

Salad:

  • 1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 stalk celery finely chopped
  • 1 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp gherkins finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 sheets nori chopped

Vegan mayo:

  • 1 block tofu soft
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Place the chickpeas in a large bowl, and mash them through with a fork.
  • Add in the chopped celery, onion, capers, gherkins and nori sheets.
  • Add soft tofu, nutritional yeast, mustard, chia seeds, lemon juice and salt to a blender or a food processor to make the vegan mayo. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  • For the best experience, chill the salad in the fridge overnight before serving. Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
