How to Prepare White Bean ‘Tuna’ Sandwich With Veggies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the 'Tuna' Salad:
- Pour the lemon juice over the chopped red onion in a small bowl and let it sit while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine the onions in lemon juice with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse a few times, taking care not to over process; the mixture should be slightly chunky. Taste for salt and pepper, adjust if needed. Keep refrigerated in an air-tight container. Serve on good sandwich bread (use gluten free if desired), with red cabbage, tomato, more basil, sprouts/microgreens, or any other favorite sandwich add-ins.
To Make the 'Mayo':
- Combine all the ingredients, except the lemon juice, in a small bowl and mix until smooth. Add the lemon juice and combine thoroughly. Add more of the lemon juice, if needed to achieve a creamy, slightly runny consistency.




I simplified this recipe. Lemon juice, onion, white beans, cucumber, pickles, dill, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. You really don\’t need any mayo. Delicious!
