Ingredients

For the Chickpea “Tuna” Salad:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 can, no salt added, rinsed and drained)

• 2 tbsp tahini

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (salt-free if possible)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp dulse flakes or finely chopped nori (for that ocean essence)

• ¼ cup finely chopped celery

• ¼ cup finely chopped red onion or green onion

• ¼ cup finely chopped pickles or cucumber

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

• Black pepper to taste

Optional Flavor Boosters:

• 1 tsp nutritional yeast (adds umami depth)

• A pinch of kelp granules

• A few chopped capers (optional, but intense!)

For the Wrap:

• Large collard green leaves or sprouted grain wraps (WFPB compliant)

• Handful of microgreens (radish, broccoli, or your fave mix)

• Shredded romaine or butter lettuce

• Sliced tomato

• Sliced cucumber

• Shredded carrots

• Optional: avocado or guacamole (if included in your plan)

Instructions

1. Mash your chickpeas in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher. Leave a bit of texture — you want it hearty.

2. Add your creamy base: Stir in tahini, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, dulse or nori, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and combined.

3. Fold in the crunch: Add celery, onions, and pickles or cucumber. Give it a good stir.

4. Taste and tweak: Adjust the flavors to your liking. Chill for 30 minutes to let the magic happen (optional, but worth it).

5. Assemble your wrap: Lay down a collard green leaf or sprouted wrap. Add lettuce, microgreens, fresh veggies, and a generous scoop of your chickpea salad.

6. Wrap, slice, devour: Roll it up, cut in half, and enjoy the plant-powered goodness!

Storage:
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Makes a great meal prep lunch!

Why This Recipe Works (Nutrition Notes):
Chickpeas are loaded with fiber, plant protein, and iron — perfect for satiety and sustained energy. The tahini offers creaminess without oil, while dulse and lemon give you that subtle sea-kissed tang reminiscent of classic tuna salad, minus the cholesterol and toxins found in fish. With zero added salt, sugar, or oil, this wrap supports heart health, gut health, and your long-term vitality.

Pro Tip 💡
Make a double batch and serve the leftovers over a bed of greens, in a lettuce boat, or even stuffed into baked sweet potatoes!
