We're trying to keep to a mainly plant-based diet these days, because all the science says it's the best way to avoid disease, and feel great (and look great too!). So, in keeping with that focus, I am THRILLED to have found what I call the "Tu-no Salad Sandwich", which gives me the fresh, savory taste of a tuna salad sandwich, without any meat. Healthy, sustainable, low-cal, delicious and filling, this sandwich is a great way to get your veggies! Enjoy!
"Tu-no Salad Sandwich"
Makes 3 or 4 sandwiches
2 cups peeled, finely shredded parsnips
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1/4 small red or white onion, finely diced
1 lemon
1/4 c vegan mayonaise (we LOVE the brand "Nayonaise", but there are other great options, too!)
1/2 Tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 tsp coarse (large flake) nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp salt
bread of your choice
In a large bowl, combine the parsnip, celery and onion. Zest, then halve the lemon. Add the lemon zest and juice from on ehalf to the parsnip mixture, along with the mayonnaise, relish, yeast, and salt, stirring to comine. Spread on a slice of bread, top with another slice and serve! Or, use only one piece of bread and serve as an open face with a fresh slice of tomato on top!
Delicious!
