  1. Superb...will be a staple in my family. I want to eat it all. Delicious and protein rich.. Great for a vegetarian. I am so glad it keeps in the fridge for a couple of days... Not that I think there'll ever be leftovers. I didn't have kelp or sunflower seeds, and I used 1/2 Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. What a find.
     
  2. Yum, yum - delicious! While I'm not sure this tastes like tuna, it sure is a wonderful spread for a sandwich! I added a couple of tbsp of dill relish to give the illusion of tuna, which worked for us. I also used slivered almonds, as I didn't soak the seeds and nuts overnight, rather for 4 hours. This worked well. I have to comment that my parrots LOVED this and I can't believe how much they could put away!! I'll definately make this again - thanks! Made for Best of 2010, from Magpie Diner's cookbook.
     
  3. I agree - really good! This is the first time I've made chickpea salad or 'mock' sandwich filling - it's not only easy, it's really tasty. In the interest of time I left out the nuts and didn't soak the seeds, (I can imagine how great that would be though). I also halved the recipe as I'll likely be the only one eating it. I added a little extra seasoning and some dill just for kicks. This will be a regular for me! If calories are a concern, I have to say that even halving the recipe I think I'd have enough for 4 decently sized sandwiches or wraps.
     
  4. Delicious! I used this recipe as a base and added carrots. Thank you for a yummy lunch!
