No Tuna Salad
Surprise, its not Tuna, but wow does pack a punch of flavors. You will never miss the tuna in this delicious Mediterranean style two bean salad. I am pairing Garbanzo and Cannellini beans then par-mashing them with Olives, capers onions and carrots. Mix it all together with a homemade Garlic Pepper Parsley Mayo and you have the perfect sandwich for lent. Especially for the pescatarians among us who want to give up something beside meat on Fridays, right?
Recipe
Ingredients
1/4 can Garbanzo Beans drained
1/4 can Cannellinni Beans drained
1 tablespoon Sandwich Pickles like the ones from Trader Joes
2 1/2 tablespoon Chopped Onion
2 tablespoon Capers Chopped
2 Tablespoon Greek Olives Chopped
2 Tablespoons finely chopped Carrots
2 Tablespoons Homemade Garlic Mayo
Squeeze of lemon - just a bit, about a teaspoon
Salt
Plenty of fresh Ground Pepper
A bit of Fresh Parsley - about a tablespoon chopped
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
That is it. Mix it all together and gently smash it all with a Potato smasher. You could even lightly blend it in a processor. Personally, I like the bigger chunks so if you are like me, don’t blend it long.
Vegan Friendly: To make this Vegan style, simple omit the homemade mayo and substitute your favorite Vegan Mayo. You may want to add a bit extra Pepper and Parsley and just smudge of garlic powder.
Makes about 3 sandwiches!
