Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked GoGoQuinoa Super Grains Fusilli
  • 1 can of chickpeas 540 mL or 18 fl oz can, rinsed and drained well
  • 2 ribs celery finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 tsp dulse flakes or shredded roasted nori
  • 1-2 sprigs green onion finely diced (use 2 if you like them a lot, otherwise just use 1)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook 2 cups of GoGoQuinoa Super Grains Pasta Fusilli in a boiling pot of water until al dente (about 7 minutes). Drain and rinse well with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use a pastry cutter or fork (or you could pulse a few times in your food processor) to "flake" the chickpeas. They won't be all uniform, but just cut them into flake-like proportions. The skin of the chickpeas sort of peeling off in the process is what gives a lot of that flaky tuna-like texture.
  • Add the vegan mayo, lemon juice, dulse flakes, green onion, salt and pepper and combine. Add the pasta and mix well until pasta is coated into this mixture.
  • Serve immediately or chill as a great lunch for later or potluck salad!
