Heart Healthy Nut Free TuNo SaladCook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of cooked garbanzo beans or 1 can of garbanzo beans
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 1-2 stalks of celery chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. or to taste of Dijon or champagne mustard or your favorite mustard Fresh dill (optional)
  • 1 tsp or more of nori, dulse or kelp flakes
  • 1/2 tsp or to taste of herbamare (17 different organic herbs and spices) or Salt and Pepper

Directions:

  1. Place the drained and rinsed garbanzo beans if using canned beans into the food processor and pulse until the beans are the consistency of tuna. You don’t want a puree, but rather a chunky consistency.
  2. Remove the beans and place in a bowl
  3. Add the chopped onion and celery and blend well
  4. Add the mustard and seasonings and blend well again.

Notes:

I love to keep this on hand all the time. It tastes great on a sprouted wheat roll or sliced bread. My favorite way to eat it is on large romaine or collard leaves as a wrap. I also love to place a 1/2 cup into my salad and eat it that way. You get tons of flavor without all the fat from using Mayo and without Mercury and PCB’s from tuna.
