"Vegetarian" Tuna Salad

A hearty plant-based twist on classic tuna salad: mashed lentils and chickpeas stand in for the fish, giving a similar flaky-yet-tender texture and satisfying protein punch. Chipotle mayo adds smoky heat and creaminess, while chopped pickles and fresh dill bring the same briny, herbaceous brightness you'd expect from a traditional tuna salad. Great scooped onto crackers, piled into a sandwich, served over greens, or scooped onto an endive leaf.
