The Edgy Veg Vegan Tunacado Vegan Butter Tarts Vegan Tunacado Tofu Tuna Recipe

Step 1

To make a vegan tunacado, you'll need to either make my easy tofu tuna recipe or find vegan tuna in a can (some specialty stores have it) and mix with the sauce ingredients. I discovered that shredded tofu is one of the best substitutes to get a vegan tuna lookalike & perfect for making a tunacado sandwich.

Step 2

Once you have your vegan tuna or shredded tofu chunks, in a separate large bowl, mix together vegan mayo, lemon juice, soy sauce, and nori powder or kelp powder (for fishy flavour). You can also add some beet powder, but it's optional, to get a pinkish tint to your tuna. I also love adding green onions to your vegan tuna salad.

Step 3

To get the best results, I highly recommend putting your vegan tuna salad into the fridge for a bit for the tofu to absorb and marinate in the delicious sauce mixture to get the best taste for your tunacado sandwich. Or you can just make the tunacado right away, but marinating is reccommended.

Step 4

To make a tunacado sandwich, add your vegan "tuna" to a toasted bun, with toppings like sliced avocado, tomato and vegan pesto (store-bought or you can make one of my vegan pesto recipes)

Step 5

And voila! A vegan tunacado sandwich!
