This recipe is a great start. You need to add more of everything like one reader said. I used yellow onion, but to really make this taste more like tuna. I omit the black pepper (you can add white pepper if you need it) and then I add ground kelp to taste. It adds a fish taste without the fish. My kids love this. They would rather have this then actual tuna salad.

I love tuna salad too but I thought this was great. I just use it as a vegetable dip or spread for crackers. I used regular yellow onion and let sit overnight for flavors to enhance. Delish.

Delicious! A good alternative for tuna salad. I still eat tuna salad from time to time, but with the concerns about mercury levels in canned tuna, this will be a nice way to still get the taste and feel of eating it without the mercury levels.

This is fantastic. I practise food combining so I don't mix starches with proteins and this is wonderful. Now I can have a tuna sandwhich and eat it too! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

My daughter is a vegetarian, so we decided to give this recipe a try, and we're glad we did. I'm not a vegetarian, but don't care for tuna, so this is a great alternative. This has become a staple in her school lunches. Thanks for the recipe!

Love it! (I agree that it doesn't taste like tuna - but who cares - it's Yummy!) I mashed the chickpeas with a fork for texture, added helman's olive oil mayo, dill, garlic powder, curry and a little bit of pickle juice (I don't like sweet relish). Then I added a piece of cheddar and two pieces of bread and made a tuna melt on my George Forman grill - Yummmmm

I am sorry to disagree with everyone but I thought that this was terrible. It looks like tuna salas but it sure doesn't taste like it. SJS99

I enjoyed this; hubby thought it was just OK (but he'd eat it if I made it again). It tasted more like tuna salad before I put it on the bread, but it's still a great sandwich filling. I added some kelp flakes to give it a bit of a "sea" taste. I'll definitely keep this.

This is such a great recipe, although I'm out of relish so I substituted two cloves of garlic. This is a perfect food processor quick lunch, thanks for sharing. AO.

This was really good. I made it per the instructions but I put it inside a pita pocket with fresh spinach,thin slices of cucumber and red bell pepper cut pretty small. It added crunch and I will make this again!

really really good - should go well in a sandwich or jacket or cheese melt etc, we just had it a side dish to some rather hot bbq prawns- but it does not taste like any tuna salad that I've had

Really good. I used a small can of chickpeas to experiment...used grey poupon mustard and mayo, onion and dill relish! Am taking it for lunch today. What a treat! I will make this weekly! A nice inexpensive, healthy treat!
