Mildly tangy sweet paprika with succulent freshly squeezed lemon mixed with a little salty seaweed reminiscent of the sea and tender nutty sunflower seeds make this Vegan Tuna Mayonnaise.
Twerk your booty. And, get hot under the collar.
This dish will burst your belief that vegan food can’t be made with a few choice ingredients.
Make this:
- When you’re looking for a belting sandwich filler dope for you and the kids
- When you’re mega excited about attending a picnic and you’re all chipping in with your vittles to dazzle
- When you’re rushing out the door and wanna nab a quick bite before you exit
Vegan Tuna Mayonnaise was inspired when visiting friends in Cornwall and foraging for seaweed and returning home with a bounty and rustling up our own tuna mayonnaise.
You’ll never look back on shop-brought especially when sunflower seeds high in protein and rich in healthy fats harvested to boost your energy leaves make up this lush Vegan Tuna Mayonnaise.
Vegan Tuna Mayonnaise is a vegan seafood, a vegan condiment, paleo and raw.
