If you’re following a plant based diet but craving a creamy savoury filling for sandwiches, salads or jacket potatoes then this chickpea based mayo combo will help satisfy those cravings. Looks like tuna mayo, has the same lemony zing and texture as tuna mayo but 100% vegan, so by choosing this option you can help the planet, the oceans and the little fishes. I hope you enjoy x


Ingredients

1 tin chickpeas

1 small tin sweetcorn

1 spring onion

1 tablespoon capers (use olives sliced finely if you don’t have capers)

3 tablespoon thick vegan plain yogurt or vegan mayo

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to season


Method

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas really well and pour then into a medium sized mixing bowl

  • Mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they brake down and become a little mushy in texture

  • Drain the sweet corn and add them to the chickpeas and stir them together until combined thoroughly

  • Finely slice the spring onion and capers and add them to a small bowl with the yogurt/mayo, lemon and mustard and mix them up really well and then add this to the chickpeas and sweet corn

  • Add salt and pepper to season and mix everything together


If you do make this then I hope you love it
