Chickpea liquid, or aquafaba, is popping up in more and more recipes. In this tuna salad, Kristy uses chickpeas and the aquafaba to make a chickpea "mayo" for a lighter take on this lunch staple. Lighter in calories and with 1/3 the saturated fat of typical tuna salad, this recipe is perfect for February, American Heart Month!
Tuna Salad with Chickpea “Mayo”
Serves 4
Chickpea “Mayo”
1 15-oz can low sodium chickpeas, drain and reserve 1/3 cup of the liquid
1/3 cup reserved liquid from chickpeas
3 ½ tbsp lemon juice (approximately 1 small lemon)
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Combine all ingredients in blender and blend on high speed into smooth puree.
Yields 1 ¾ cup
Note: you will not need all of this for the tuna salad so use leftover chickpea puree to make hummus! Just add some tahini, minced garlic, pinch of salt and additional lemon juice and olive oil to taste.

¼ tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp minced shallot
¼ cup chopped parsley
