I'm in Mexico and it's going to be a hot summer where I live and will DEFINITELY give these a try. Perfect summer meal at the beach. Thank you!
@@Namelymarly I can't remember where I got the mayo recipe variants of this were shown in videos by VeganDads and Hench Herbivore and I remember another version in a McDougall cookbook but it is now a staple recipe in my head I just make it.
Hate the fishy taste, but great idea on the miso. Also, way too much "smoked paprika" for us! That stuff is strong! Luv in small amounts. Pastor Finley's wife, Teeny, has taught on healthy cooking for years & she uses raw, soaked chick peas & adds a bit of gluten flour & bakes it in small portions, then grinds in processor & adds all the mix-ins. Has a LOT of chew and is so delicious. Can be frozen to have on hand. Your method is great for a faster meal! 🥰 Thx for all you shared. You are doing great service to mankind by offering these wonderful, healthy alternatives. I liked your great tone of voice, gentle humor and method. Awesome!! Worthy of sharing with others. Doing that now!
@@TheStaffOfLife I have never tried chickpeas as you describe here. Sounds interesting. I did make some roasted soybeans like that. Very good! I agree that the smoked paprika can be strong, but I find it mellows out after a bit. You could substitute some roasted beets (for color) and a bit of liquid smoke for the smoky flavor. Thanks for your kind words. It means so much to hear this from you! 🌺
YES! I knew the beans were in there. I think I do those daily, but the mushrooms is where I struggle. Because my hubby doesn't like them. I try to make a big batch and then freeze them so I can put them on my portions.
Anytime I want to puree or partially smash any kind of bean I always put it in a pan to warm it slightly and then just use the potato masher. It works in a heartbeat
I do something similar for my chickpea tuna--but add a few capers and some hearts of palm. The hearts of palm are really similar to the texture of tuna.
What a great idea! Both of these additions sound great! And with every plant, I'm sure they add extra nutrition, too. I'm always looking for ways to add new and/or different veggies in a given week!
Wow! That's so cool! I will add that one to my reading list. I'm so glad you liked the video and thanks so much for reaching out. I'm so glad to hear from you! ❤
@@Namelymarly I’m sure you’ll enjoy that book. Dr. Fuhrman considers it his most important book. Thank you again for the delicious recipes. I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. Best decision I ever made for my health. Best wishes to you. ❤️

@@Namelymarly Oh, my, that is so wonderful!!! Dr. Fuhrman's diet is considered the "gold standard." He's a wealth of information. And he's an excellent cook, so I'm told. I spent 17 years as a caregiver to my elderly parents and my grandmother until their deaths. They all ate the Standard American Diet. None were overweight. But they all suffered from high blood pressure and forms of heart disease (strokes, heart failure, etc.). They didn't have all the information we have now. I'm so thankful to be able to gain the knowledge to make the change to veganism and for people like you who are sharing delicious vegan recipes for us to try. Best wishes to you as well. 🧡
@@rozchristopherson648 My mom just passed away in January, so my heart goes out to you in caregiving for elderly loved ones. It's heart wrenching to see their quality of life dwindle to nothing. My mom was like your family with her diet, but also did not do much with exercise. She eventually developed Alzheimers. I'm still very sad about it all. I agree with you tho, finding a way to be healthier longer is my goal, too. To a long healthspan! 🌸
Yay! I'm so glad to see you're going to give them a try! I hope you like the other two versions as much as the first. I'm still torn on which one I like best... I may have to make them all three again so I can decide. Haha.
I am not vegan..I do some eat fish and chicken but mostly plant based. I tried this recipe and it was just delicious although it did not taste like tuna to me but I still plan to make it often. Here are a few things that I changed: I use dry chickpeas and soak overnight...never canned; I used a couple cloves of fresh garlic; I added some fish sauce, next time will try plant based oyster sauce; I mashed the chickpeas in one bowl and then mixed all the ingredients other ingredients in another bowl and then added that to the chickpeas. And yes definitely more seaweed. Thank you ...really yummy!
Hi Susan! I hope you like the ham version. I'm certainly enjoying it. You can mash the beans more (if you'd like) for a finer texture on the ham version.
I love chickpea salad and often keep it in the fridge as a go to easy meal. Excited to try these versions. It will be nice to have some different ones on rotation. Besides the ways to eat it that you mentioned, I like it stuffed into a nice ripe tomato or in celery.
I'm so glad you're going to give these two new versions a try. I hope you like them! Love the idea of stuffed into a tomato (scooping out the parts of the tomato I don't like...haha), and celery is great, too! 🌸
My great grandmother made her own ham salad with leftover ham. She ground up the ham and then added ground onions and ground pickles. It was so delicious!
Hi Kim! I'm so glad you liked these recipes! I hope you like the idea of adding some nori to your tuna chickpea salad. I think it does a great job of adding the right flavors. I'm really struggling to figure out which of these I like best. It's a good problem to have! 🤗
@@Namelymarly I guess that’s a good problem to have. 🤣 since becoming vegetarian over 30 years ago, I have missed eating tuna and chicken salads. In the past, I resisted using chickpeas for the salads. However, now that I have gone WFPB, I’ve expanded my food choices. Thanks again! ❤️
Oooh 😮 that looks so yummy 😋 just found your channel and I’m so excited 😆.. I’ve been a vegan for over 10 years and I haven’t found anything that tastes like chicken salad… thanks so much 🌻😊
You can also make a mock tuna salad by using jackfruit. You have to drain it well then place it a pot of warm water for a few minutes to help get out more of the brine. Then you can prepare it like any other tuna salad.
I hope you like it! I usually get yellow miso paste because it has the mildest flavor. If you try all these flavors, I'll be curious to know which is your favorite! 🌺
You're so welcome! And I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am struggling to decide which one I like the most. Because I have all three and have been making them on a soft taco. It seems I like best the bite I just had. Haha. 🤗
I hope you like it! That smoky flavor from the smoked paprika is so good. I think you could also add a little bit of dried cranberries as well - to get the smoky and sweet together. It would be tasty!
I think some vegan mayo may be made with soy. But you can easily make your own. Or just use all plant-based yogurt and maybe drizzle a little olive oil to give it more richness (if you'd like). Sending hugs! 🤗
Those all look so GOOD! Truth be told, unless it was in hummus, i really disliked chickpeas in general. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that i began to truly love and appreciate whole or roughly chopped chickpeas. Now, i can eat them with a spoon right out of the can. Your tuna salad recipe is so close to my own concoction. In my pre-vegan life, i always craved a pronounced fishy tuna flavor in the tuna sandwiches i ate(inhaled) so my recipe uses 10 to 15 nori sheets. I use a food processor to refine both the chickpeas and nori sheets together so their flavor profiles are married and bonded to my personal tastes. I also add finely grated lemon zest to my mix, and red pepper sauce if i want a spicy tasting salad. I had no idea about miso paste being a salt substitute. I've never worked with miso paste, i need to change that. It never occured to me to use chickpeas in a chicken or deviled ham salad recipe. I LOVE that! I bet a pin drops worth of liquid smoke would lend a nice ham/bacony note. If you were raised on eating tuna salad sandwiches with chopped boiled egg in them like i was, i found that adding black salt(kala namak) to taste, it's a great dup for that kind of tuna/egg salad preparation. Your video left me completely HUNGREEEE, and wanting to make your recipes! Instant channel subscription!!
Isn't it crazy how the tastebuds can adapt and change? I completely get you because I used to HATE tomatoes. Loathed them. Now I buy cherry tomatoes by the tub! Eat them like grapes! (I still struggle with the bigger tomatoes). Have you ever tried cooking your chickpeas from scratch? I am fine with canned chickpeas, but cooking them from scratch? Big change! They're sooo good that way! Yes, a smidge of liquid smoke is a great idea! I am completely out of black salt, but I like your idea. It would add that mmmph to the recipe. My mom would add chopped boiled egg to just about everything...including tuna salad. Love the idea of pulsing the chickpeas and nori sheets together. So much to unpack here. Thanks for sharing!! 🌸
@@Namelymarly Yes! I am glad my tastes have evolved. I've never cooked dry chickpeas, i plan to do that. You're the second person I've read that says that is better than the canned ones. A while back i saw a tiktok that said cooking your own yields a better result, especially when making hummus, the same goes for the aquafaba. Something to look forward to!
@@santiagohardy2728 I add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the chickpeas in the water. It makes the chickpeas more tender, but I'm not sure if it would impact the flavor of the aquafaba.
Thank you for a simple recipe, that’s brilliant itself, but then can be made three different ways. Fantastic! Also, the middle one reminded me of Coronation Chicken which was big in UK about 40 years ago, and has never really gone out of fashion. I wonder if it would also be nice with dried apricots as the fruit component? Also, I must thank you so much for serving us a simple wholesome food video with NO MUSIC! I’m so happy, because I have a neurological condition which is painful when I’m hearing human voice overlaid with loud pumping music. And it’s worse if it gets turned up and down. Honestly my brain actually hurts sometimes - and music as added to absolutely everything these days; adverts, documentaries, TV programs, cooking videos, house cleaning videos, crochet demonstrations etc. But the very nicest videos are just peaceful, instructive and friendly, so I would say you’re doing just perfect so far. New subscriber here - recommended by RUclips and I’m very happy. 😊❤
I've never heard of Coronation Chicken, but I get the allure because the combination of sweet and savory! I love the idea of using dried apricots for the flavor and also because it's just not something we turn to often so I like adding unique ingredients like that. Thanks for your feedback on the music. I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. It must be so challenging. I can relate because we like a peaceful surrounding. I can't tell you how many times Shawn and I will go play tennis and someone will arrive after us in the next court and turn on their portable speaker and start blasting music. We can tolerate it if it's good music but not this terrible autotune stuff. Thank you so much for your encouragement because I never thought about the music (not) in our videos. You inspire me to know we're on the right track! ❤🌷
@@Namelymarly Thank you for your reply. That’s kind of you. Coronation chicken is basically cold roast chicken in a curried mayonnaise with dried apricots. It was created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 2nd in 1953. I make a veggie version that’s lighter (add yogurt to the mayonnaise) and I like it best with chickpeas. Then sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds and serve with boiled rice. Always leave overnight for the flavours to combine, for best results. When you’ve tried it, do share it with your viewers. Definitely on the right track with your channel. X
@@rbrown6476 Ahh, this is why you suggested apricots! It all makes sense to me now! 🤗 Next time in the store I will get some and give it a try. Thanks so much for enlightening me on this!
I like seeing miso used as the salty component. I'm doing the same in all my staples like hummus, chili, etc. Thank you for the recipe! Ill try it with some tofu-based vegan mayo
Hello from Georgia; just found you. These salads sound delicious; can't wait to make them. Really trying hard to get back to plant-based eating (listening to How Not to Die from Dr. Greger and that is really helping to seal the deal). Is that your cookbook in the background? Thanks for these recipes; I look forward to more of your videos - take care.
Thank you for your recipes. I've been trying, using chickpeas but they would be to hard for me. It seems the step I was missing was MASHING the chickpeas! Now that will aide tremendously 😊
Yes! The mashing is key! Be sure to check your chickpeas. Some cans are not as thoroughly cooked as others. If they're too firm to mash, you can pour it into a pot with boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Then strain, let them cool, and you're ready to go! 🌼
They look so good! Are these complete protein salads if I put them on whole grain bread, or do I need to add something else to make them complete proteins?
I love this idea! To be honest, I've only experienced hickory in things like BBQ sauce. I'll have to get some hickory powder and give this a try. But now that we're having this fascinating discussion, what do you think about a BBQ chickpea salad!!!
@@Namelymarly I didn’t know there was hickory powder. I get the hickory liquid which is VERY potent so just a drop or two to start. I’ve used it when I marinate tempeh into ‘bacon’ tempeh for example. That’s why I thought it would add a ‘ham’ flavour. On another thought, do you add kala namak / black salt to ‘egg’ dishes like tofu scramble. I love tofu scramble (hot as scrambled eggs and cold as egg salad) and always use it there. I like using silken tofu when making ‘egg’ dishes as it has a consistency more like eggs compared to regular tofu.
@@deedeemac Oh yes! Liquid smoke! I get that stuff too. I definitely use that at times. But I used smoked paprika in this version because I wanted that red color. But if you want an even smokier flavor I could see adding a drop or two of it. Yes, you're so right, it's strong! I used to have kala namak but I haven't used it in awhile. I seem to be sensitive to too much salt, but that stuff does add good flavor and even a little bit really makes a difference. Great tip to use silken tofu for egg dishes!
Harisha Hot pepperma condiment from Tunesia and Libya.Trader Joes has it. My Dad got a job in Libya whole family moved out there for four. and a half years years ,Before and after the Ghadafi Coup, got a taste for North African cusine.Now how- ever . I am almost vegan do plant meat lots of veggies,but I still eat eggs for protein. No more than three eggs a week some times just two or one none. A week would also add cumin and salt
Wow, you're talking to someone who has lived her whole life in Missouri! I can't image moving to another country. The experiences you must have had! Thanks for sharing your condiment tip. Sounds perfectly spicy (which I love!). Yes, cumin is a great idea. We use Morton's lite salt because we try to keep the sodium on the low side. 🌺
@@Namelymarly I have tried foragers and siggis. I like siggis but finding a plain is a challenge. I think there is a sprouts about 45 minutes from me. I just discovered your channel. You are a delight.
@@nancyrogers5950 Thanks so much, Nancy! I appreciate your kind words! That is a long drive...and I agree with you that finding plain yogurt is not always easy. I have a recipe for making "yogurt" from silken tofu. Would you like me to send it to you? It might be something you can use in between trips. It's basically whipped silken tofu with a combination of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. I use it in recipes, but I have also served it with fruit. It's not as good as siggis, but it works!
What is in your poultry seasoning please, I would love to try your recipes, but have a range of severe allergies and need to know the ingredients of everything. Thank you 😊
Oh, Tina! What a great question! I can't believe I forgot to talk about this. I simply pour the can into a strainer to drain the liquid. You can rinse them if you want, but it's not necessary. TBH, I sort of like that chickpea liquid flavor on the beans. I just don't want too much because it will water down the sauce.
Thanks for your feedback! I didn't demonize salt. In fact, I used regular canned chickpeas, added miso paste (which has sodium), and even more salt at the end. My goal is to minimize salt where possible while keeping the flavor delicious. Balance is key! 😊
ive been eating really clean (30 plants, GF, DF, MF). yesterday, i had pappadams, indian pickles, avocado and hummus. my stomach started to hurt.. and i looked 20yrs older and 2 stone fatter. terrible. think chickpeas might be a problem.. or how they made the hummus no soaked and rinsed enough? im scared of chickpeas now.
@@Namelymarly do you season your mushrooms? I find that if you season them with either fresh garlic, and onions, or the dried spices with aminos, and only saute them for about 30 seconds, they won't get rubbery while absorbing all the pungent, savory flavors. They taste like meat this way. Then you could heat it up with cayenne and smoked paprika...Fennel is great with the garlic as well. I just play around with it until the flavor and texture tells something good. 😆 Thanks for the video. Have a blessed day.
@@dbrown5443 I actually use a little bit of balsamic vinegar. I heat them in the skillet for a few minutes (no oil) and add a splash or two of the vinegar. But I like y our idea of garlic and spices. Great ideas! My issue is my hubby doesn't like mushrooms...or the smell of them cooking. I try to make a big batch and then freeze them.
Looks good. I have a question in regard to veganism. I see so many recipes with titles saying that this or that is better than meat or here’s your video showing three recipes that resemble meat recipes. If vegans are so turned off by eating meat I have to ask why make up recipes that give you the taste like meat ? Your recipes look yummy.
Great question! You know, many folks who have chosen a plant-based diet didn't grow up that way. My mom used to make tuna salad, egg salad, etc. So, we enjoy having vegan versions of those flavors we grew up with. Also, these dishes are part of our landscape so it's fun to feel connected to that. I'm sure others might have different reasons, but these are just a couple that come to mind. 🌸
Yummy delights, you know the manifold wisdom of God Hear- Romans -10:17 Believe -Hebrews 11:6 Repentance -Luke 13:3-5 Confession Matthews 10:32,33 Baptize Acts 2:38,39 You do not want to turn off Jesus. Me you turn off anytime. But God always put him first in your life.
Yes, @athletemum is correct. Some miso is made without soy. But you can add a touch of coconut aminos or even just some salt and pepper if you'd like to keep it simple.
THANK YOU! I will try to envision him as a big furry man so maybe that will help me remember. You know how they say to create these funky images to help you remember something?
I think I knew what you meant and answered both questions above. I definitely drain them, but I don't usually rinse them because I like that "funky" aquafaba flavor on the beans. But I'm weird, so you can rinse them if you like! 😋
I appreciate the simplicity of your intentions. For me personally? I absolutely have always hated the texture of fish. So to make a chickpea salad that tastes like tuna salad works for me. No harm in it! 🌸
@@keithbertschin1213 I could tell your intentions were good, Keith! I see your point, too. It's easy to make things too complicated! I appreciate your contribution to the discussion. Hope you're having a great day! 🌸
I started speech therapy as a child to help improve my "s" sounds. I used to stutter then, too! So, even though I've come a long way, I see there is still more room for improvement. Thanks for your kind feedback.🌺
What I don’t understand is y’all love vegetables so much but seem to always be trying to make vegetables and such things as y’all eat to taste like or resemble meat, this seems very hypocritical. Why not just enjoy your veggies and forget about meat all together?
It's a great question. And I can see from your perspective how this makes sense. Most people who are vegetarian, plant-based, and/or vegan didn't grow up that way. We grew up eating a standard diet, which might have included things like egg salad or tuna salad or chicken salad. So, using plants and creative spices to recreate those flavors is only natural. It might be like if you lived your whole life in Missouri and you loved Missouri potato salad (it is really good!), and you moved to New York and the only potato salad you could find was the kind in stores and it was nowhere close to what you grew up eating. So, you recreated a version that tastes like what you grew up eating. It's very creative and rewarding. 🌸
I’m no hater but the vegan movement should really try to eat actually green vegetables. You know it’s only a matter of time before they start to alter the chickpeas due to the popularity. It happens in the meat eating world too…
I believe there is an actual Mediterranean dish referred to as chickpea salad so the name is already taken. But the good news is there are no animal products in these recipes! 🌷
@@pamp3445 Yes! I always taste them at the end. I agree it may seem like a lot of smoked paprika - and you should alter it to your own tastes - but my hubby is one of those "super tasters" - he is very sensitive to strong flavors and he even liked the ham version. All the ingredients get absorbed so well in this salad - it works! But another idea is you can substitute a little bit of smoke sauce (sold near BBQ sauce in most stores) to create that smoky flavor. If you choose to do that, I would probably add a bit of roasted beets for color. Sending hugs! 🌺

Thanks so much I'll be trying all of those!
I'm so glad you like these recipes. I'd love to hear from you after you try them!
I love chickpea salad and often keep it in the fridge as a go to easy meal. Excited to try these versions. It will be nice to have some different ones on rotation. Besides the ways to eat it that you mentioned, I like it stuffed into a nice ripe tomato or in celery.
I'm so glad you're going to give these two new versions a try. I hope you like them! Love the idea of stuffed into a tomato (scooping out the parts of the tomato I don't like...haha), and celery is great, too! 🌸
Love it. I’d have them wrapped in a big leaf of lettuce. Yum
Yes! A salad wrap is a great idea! I really like using romaine because it's so crunchy. Do you have a favorite lettuce?
@@Namelymarly Same here 😊
Big leaf basil would taste good. There are so many ways to make it.
First time🎉 meeting you.
Great ideas.
GOD BLESS YOU
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@evalinawarne1337 Thanks so much! Great to meet you too! 🌺
Yum! I’ll be trying all three of these in the near future. I used to put sweet relish in my ham salads so I’d add that 😊
I mean, everything is better with some sweet relish! 🤗
Hi Marly I’m definitely trying some of these chickpea recipes thank you
I'm so glad to hear this! I hope you love these as much as we do! I'd love to hear from you - which is your favorite?
These recipes look amazing! Also, I appreciate all the additional variations in the comments
Hi Cindy! Yes, I love hearing from folks and how they add different seasonings/ingredients. I hope you enjoy the recipe! 🌺
My great grandmother made her own ham salad with leftover ham. She ground up the ham and then added ground onions and ground pickles. It was so delicious!
Going to try the chickpea “chicken” with grapes and apple in place of the cranberries, and add roasted pecans.
That sounds amazing! I forgot to mention that sometimes I add chopped walnuts for bits of crunch, but pecans would be amazing! Hope you enjoy it!
They all look tasty, Marly! Adding chick peas to my shopping list. 🛒
Thank you for sharing these!
You're so welcome. Hope you enjoy making them too! 🌺
Thank you for sharing this as I”m new to WFPB as a long time vegetarian. I was looking for spices that mimicked the taste of chicken and tuna. ❤️
Hi Kim! I'm so glad you liked these recipes! I hope you like the idea of adding some nori to your tuna chickpea salad. I think it does a great job of adding the right flavors. I'm really struggling to figure out which of these I like best. It's a good problem to have! 🤗
@@Namelymarly I guess that’s a good problem to have. 🤣 since becoming vegetarian over 30 years ago, I have missed eating tuna and chicken salads. In the past, I resisted using chickpeas for the salads. However, now that I have gone WFPB, I’ve expanded my food choices. Thanks again! ❤️
@@kimstanley9850 I guess you're a chickpea convert! 🤗
@@Namelymarly I think you’re right. 😊
Love This Thank You Marly❤️
You're so welcome! Hope you enjoy these tasty sandwich spreads! 🌷
Oooh 😮 that looks so yummy 😋 just found your channel and I’m so excited 😆.. I’ve been a vegan for over 10 years and I haven’t found anything that tastes like chicken salad… thanks so much 🌻😊
You can also make a mock tuna salad by using jackfruit. You have to drain it well then place it a pot of warm water for a few minutes to help get out more of the brine. Then you can prepare it like any other tuna salad.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I'm excited to try them! And I didn't know about miso paste to use as a substitute for salt! 😊👍
I hope you like it! I usually get yellow miso paste because it has the mildest flavor. If you try all these flavors, I'll be curious to know which is your favorite! 🌺
This is the best! Thank you!
I'm so glad you like it! 🌺
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful looking recipes.
Thank you! It's so good to hear from you and I truly appreciate your positive vibe. ❤
Enjoyed greatly have to try all of them.I love chickpeas and this gives me choices.😂Thanks
Ah, thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked the new ways to use chickpeas. I agree, having some variety and choice in your food is so important! 🌸
Thanks for the ideas....chickpeas😊
I'm so glad you liked the recipes. We are two chickpeas in a chickpea pod! 🤗
they all look lovely, and so easy to make ... win, win! thanx for sharing!
You're so welcome! And I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am struggling to decide which one I like the most. Because I have all three and have been making them on a soft taco. It seems I like best the bite I just had. Haha. 🤗
Can’t wait to try the ham salad!
I hope you like it! That smoky flavor from the smoked paprika is so good. I think you could also add a little bit of dried cranberries as well - to get the smoky and sweet together. It would be tasty!
Love the chickpea tuna salad on toasted rye bread. Delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing. Excited to try your other versions.
I’ve used Asian rice seasoning, which has seaweed, and it also makes it taste like tuna.
Great idea - I'll have to try to find some!
I don't like sweet peppers but love using thinly minced carrots & celery plus minced onion. They add a great crunch to any chickpea salad.
Great ideas for substituting bell peppers. Thanks for sharing! 🌺
I expect these will be delicious! Thanks.
First time viewer…these look amazing! Gonna give them a try and if they’re as good as they look, you’ll gain a new subscriber 😊

Just what I have been looking for!! Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad to hear from you and that you liked the recipes. Sending hugs! 🥰
Thanks a lot for the recipes. I'm unable to tolerate soy, so this is very helpful.
I think some vegan mayo may be made with soy. But you can easily make your own. Or just use all plant-based yogurt and maybe drizzle a little olive oil to give it more richness (if you'd like). Sending hugs! 🤗
I enjoyed this so much. thank you looks yummy 😋😋🥰

Thanks for the ideas in chickpea salad. I have just usually made chicken salad out of chickpeas.
Ahh, so the tuna and ham will be new versions for you! Well, I hope you like them! It's fun to have a little variety with your chickpeas! 🤗
Can’t wait to try these. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Looks tasty. I think I will try it today
I'm so glad you like the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 🌸
Those all look so GOOD!
Truth be told, unless it was in hummus, i really disliked chickpeas in general. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that i began to truly love and appreciate whole or roughly chopped chickpeas.
Now,
i can eat them with a spoon right out of the can.
Your tuna salad recipe is so close to my own concoction. In my pre-vegan life, i always craved a pronounced fishy tuna flavor in the tuna sandwiches i ate(inhaled) so my recipe uses 10 to 15 nori sheets. I use a food processor to refine both the chickpeas and nori sheets together so their flavor profiles are married and bonded to my personal tastes. I also add finely grated lemon zest to my mix, and red pepper sauce if i want a spicy tasting salad.
I had no idea about miso paste being a salt substitute. I've never worked with miso paste, i need to change that.
It never occured to me to use chickpeas in a chicken or deviled ham salad recipe. I LOVE that! I bet a pin drops worth of liquid smoke would lend a nice ham/bacony note.
If you were raised on eating tuna salad sandwiches with chopped boiled egg in them like i was, i found that adding black salt(kala namak) to taste, it's a great dup for that kind of tuna/egg salad preparation.
Your video left me completely HUNGREEEE, and wanting to make your recipes! Instant channel subscription!!
Isn't it crazy how the tastebuds can adapt and change? I completely get you because I used to HATE tomatoes. Loathed them. Now I buy cherry tomatoes by the tub! Eat them like grapes! (I still struggle with the bigger tomatoes). Have you ever tried cooking your chickpeas from scratch? I am fine with canned chickpeas, but cooking them from scratch? Big change! They're sooo good that way! Yes, a smidge of liquid smoke is a great idea! I am completely out of black salt, but I like your idea. It would add that mmmph to the recipe. My mom would add chopped boiled egg to just about everything...including tuna salad. Love the idea of pulsing the chickpeas and nori sheets together. So much to unpack here. Thanks for sharing!! 🌸
@@Namelymarly
Yes! I am glad my tastes have evolved.
I've never cooked dry chickpeas,
i plan to do that. You're the second person I've read that says that is better than the canned ones.
A while back i saw a tiktok that said cooking your own yields a better result, especially when making hummus, the same goes for the aquafaba.
Something to look forward to!
@@santiagohardy2728 I add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the chickpeas in the water. It makes the chickpeas more tender, but I'm not sure if it would impact the flavor of the aquafaba.
@@Namelymarly
Oooooo...i will try that.
Thank you for the suggestion.☺👍
Sounds wonderful I will be trying these.
Wonderful, Linda! Thanks for your comment. I hope you like the recipes! 🌷
Thank you for a simple recipe, that’s brilliant itself, but then can be made three different ways. Fantastic!
Also, the middle one reminded me of Coronation Chicken which was big in UK about 40 years ago, and has never really gone out of fashion. I wonder if it would also be nice with dried apricots as the fruit component?
Also, I must thank you so much for serving us a simple wholesome food video with NO MUSIC!
I’m so happy, because I have a neurological condition which is painful when I’m hearing human voice overlaid with loud pumping music.
And it’s worse if it gets turned up and down. Honestly my brain actually hurts sometimes - and music as added to absolutely everything these days; adverts, documentaries, TV programs, cooking videos, house cleaning videos, crochet demonstrations etc.
But the very nicest videos are just peaceful, instructive and friendly, so I would say you’re doing just perfect so far.
New subscriber here - recommended by RUclips and I’m very happy. 😊❤
I've never heard of Coronation Chicken, but I get the allure because the combination of sweet and savory! I love the idea of using dried apricots for the flavor and also because it's just not something we turn to often so I like adding unique ingredients like that. Thanks for your feedback on the music. I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. It must be so challenging. I can relate because we like a peaceful surrounding. I can't tell you how many times Shawn and I will go play tennis and someone will arrive after us in the next court and turn on their portable speaker and start blasting music. We can tolerate it if it's good music but not this terrible autotune stuff. Thank you so much for your encouragement because I never thought about the music (not) in our videos. You inspire me to know we're on the right track! ❤🌷
@@Namelymarly Thank you for your reply. That’s kind of you.
Coronation chicken is basically cold roast chicken in a curried mayonnaise with dried apricots. It was created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 2nd in 1953. I make a veggie version that’s lighter (add yogurt to the mayonnaise) and I like it best with chickpeas. Then sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds and serve with boiled rice. Always leave overnight for the flavours to combine, for best results. When you’ve tried it, do share it with your viewers.
Definitely on the right track with your channel. X
@@rbrown6476 Ahh, this is why you suggested apricots! It all makes sense to me now! 🤗 Next time in the store I will get some and give it a try. Thanks so much for enlightening me on this!
@@Namelymarly You’re welcome- good luck! X
I like seeing miso used as the salty component. I'm doing the same in all my staples like hummus, chili, etc. Thank you for the recipe! Ill try it with some tofu-based vegan mayo
Hello from Georgia; just found you. These salads sound delicious; can't wait to make them. Really trying hard to get back to plant-based eating (listening to How Not to Die from Dr. Greger and that is really helping to seal the deal). Is that your cookbook in the background? Thanks for these recipes; I look forward to more of your videos - take care.
Will try 👍
Thanks! Let me know how it goes. I'd love to hear from you!
Very proud of that move, le quitaron las taquillas a las tripletas y vas con tu familia👨👩👦👦
I love you 15T❤️
Gracias! Means so much to hear from you and your kind words! ❤🌷
Great I love will try them out
I'm so glad! I hope you love them as much as we do! 🌸
Thank you, I'm looking forward to preparing these dishes soon!
I'm so glad! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! I did have my soft tacos for dinner last night and had one of each. So good! ❤
Thank you ❤ from Melbourne Australia
Hi Julie! So good to hear from you. FYI, I chose an Australian accent for my Siri voice. It's such a pleasing accent!
Thank you for your recipes. I've been trying, using chickpeas but they would be to hard for me. It seems the step I was missing was MASHING the chickpeas! Now that will aide tremendously 😊
Yes! The mashing is key! Be sure to check your chickpeas. Some cans are not as thoroughly cooked as others. If they're too firm to mash, you can pour it into a pot with boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Then strain, let them cool, and you're ready to go! 🌼
They look so good! Are these complete protein salads if I put them on whole grain bread, or do I need to add something else to make them complete proteins?
Thanks! Yes, adding some whole wheat bread or pita would make it a complete protein. 🌷
I wonder if you could use a Crab Boil seasoning (Old Bay) instead of seaweed?
This is a great idea! I've never tried this seasoning. I will check it out and possibly experiment with it! 🌺
🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Great ideas. I love chickpea salad and it’s one of my faves. How about adding hickory to the ‘ham’ salad?
I love this idea! To be honest, I've only experienced hickory in things like BBQ sauce. I'll have to get some hickory powder and give this a try. But now that we're having this fascinating discussion, what do you think about a BBQ chickpea salad!!!
@@Namelymarly I didn’t know there was hickory powder. I get the hickory liquid which is VERY potent so just a drop or two to start. I’ve used it when I marinate tempeh into ‘bacon’ tempeh for example. That’s why I thought it would add a ‘ham’ flavour. On another thought, do you add kala namak / black salt to ‘egg’ dishes like tofu scramble. I love tofu scramble (hot as scrambled eggs and cold as egg salad) and always use it there. I like using silken tofu when making ‘egg’ dishes as it has a consistency more like eggs compared to regular tofu.
@@deedeemac Oh yes! Liquid smoke! I get that stuff too. I definitely use that at times. But I used smoked paprika in this version because I wanted that red color. But if you want an even smokier flavor I could see adding a drop or two of it. Yes, you're so right, it's strong! I used to have kala namak but I haven't used it in awhile. I seem to be sensitive to too much salt, but that stuff does add good flavor and even a little bit really makes a difference. Great tip to use silken tofu for egg dishes!
I always add beetroot in my chickpea salad 😋
Wow. What a great idea! I bet that gives it some gorgeous color! 🌸
Harisha Hot pepperma condiment from Tunesia and Libya.Trader Joes has it. My Dad got a job in Libya whole family moved out there for four. and a half years years ,Before and after the Ghadafi Coup, got a taste for North African cusine.Now how- ever . I am almost vegan do plant meat lots of veggies,but I still eat eggs for protein. No more than three eggs a week some times just two or one none. A week would also add cumin and salt
I would also add cumin and salt and a squeeze of lemon
Thanks I have played around with these chickpea recipes ten years ago
I know. What I am having for supper
Wow, you're talking to someone who has lived her whole life in Missouri! I can't image moving to another country. The experiences you must have had! Thanks for sharing your condiment tip. Sounds perfectly spicy (which I love!). Yes, cumin is a great idea. We use Morton's lite salt because we try to keep the sodium on the low side. 🌺
@@l.e.m.friedman5965 Yes to the lemon too. Great ideas!
Celtic sea salt and pink himalayan salt are good to use. Both have at least 80% minerals .
That's so good to know! Thanks for sharing, Rebekah! 🌷
@@Namelymarly you're welcome 😊
looks, good1 where's the oil?
Thanks! I'm not sure I understand the question. There is oil in mayo. Is that what you're referring to?
Do you have printable recipes for these?
This is the link to my vegan tuna salad and it's the base recipe. namelymarly.com/vegan-tuna-salad/
What yogurt did you use?
I really like Foragers plain yogurt and Siggi's plant-based yogurt. These are my two go-to favorites. I find them at Sprouts. Do you have one you use?
@@Namelymarly I have tried foragers and siggis. I like siggis but finding a plain is a challenge. I think there is a sprouts about 45 minutes from me. I just discovered your channel. You are a delight.
@@nancyrogers5950 Thanks so much, Nancy! I appreciate your kind words! That is a long drive...and I agree with you that finding plain yogurt is not always easy. I have a recipe for making "yogurt" from silken tofu. Would you like me to send it to you? It might be something you can use in between trips. It's basically whipped silken tofu with a combination of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. I use it in recipes, but I have also served it with fruit. It's not as good as siggis, but it works!
For ham, a touch of brown sugar and a hint of clove might go a long ways.
Good ideas, Kathleen! 🤗
What is in your poultry seasoning please, I would love to try your recipes, but have a range of severe allergies and need to know the ingredients of everything. Thank you 😊
Thanks for your kind words! My poultry seasoning is a combination of sage, rosemary, and thyme. But you can use the herbs that work best for you. 🌺
I have a sturdy pastry blender I use for my chickpeas. I have a version even the meat eaters like
Sounds great! Isn't it fun when you share a vegan dish and the meat eaters go mmmmm. 🤗
I think I would used Hickory smoke or horscheaster sause instead of smoked paprika. i don't always like the spice of smoked paprika.
Yes, I think the hickory smoke would work. If you're doing that, you might want to add a bit of roasted chopped beets for color!
When I was pregnant, I CRAVED dulse! LOL!
That must be the most unusual craving ever! Did you sprinkle it over everything?
@@Namelymarly LOL! No sprinkling, I ate it straight out of the package! Some people thought I was eating tobacco!! 😆
Do you have to drain them .....?
Oh, Tina! What a great question! I can't believe I forgot to talk about this. I simply pour the can into a strainer to drain the liquid. You can rinse them if you want, but it's not necessary. TBH, I sort of like that chickpea liquid flavor on the beans. I just don't want too much because it will water down the sauce.
Great chickpea ideas. Too much demonization of salt, we'd die without it.
Thanks for your feedback! I didn't demonize salt. In fact, I used regular canned chickpeas, added miso paste (which has sodium), and even more salt at the end. My goal is to minimize salt where possible while keeping the flavor delicious. Balance is key! 😊
ive been eating really clean (30 plants, GF, DF, MF). yesterday, i had pappadams, indian pickles, avocado and hummus. my stomach started to hurt.. and i looked 20yrs older and 2 stone fatter. terrible. think chickpeas might be a problem.. or how they made the hummus no soaked and rinsed enough? im scared of chickpeas now.
It sounds like you are so attuned to your body's needs. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Yay! I'm always happy when I see you in my feed! ❤
G-BOMBS= Greens, Berries, Onions, Mushrooms, Beans, Seeds.
Yes! That's the formula. I struggle the most with mushrooms, but I know they're so healthy so I will do better!
@@Namelymarly do you season your mushrooms?
I find that if you season them with either fresh garlic, and onions, or the dried spices with aminos, and only saute them for about 30 seconds, they won't get rubbery while absorbing all the pungent, savory flavors. They taste like meat this way. Then you could heat it up with cayenne and smoked paprika...Fennel is great with the garlic as well. I just play around with it until the flavor and texture tells something good. 😆
Thanks for the video. Have a blessed day.
@@dbrown5443 I actually use a little bit of balsamic vinegar. I heat them in the skillet for a few minutes (no oil) and add a splash or two of the vinegar. But I like y our idea of garlic and spices. Great ideas! My issue is my hubby doesn't like mushrooms...or the smell of them cooking. I try to make a big batch and then freeze them.
Looks good. I have a question in regard to veganism. I see so many recipes with titles saying that this or that is better than meat or here’s your video showing three recipes that resemble meat recipes. If vegans are so turned off by eating meat I have to ask why make up recipes that give you the taste like meat ?
Your recipes look yummy.
Great question! You know, many folks who have chosen a plant-based diet didn't grow up that way. My mom used to make tuna salad, egg salad, etc. So, we enjoy having vegan versions of those flavors we grew up with. Also, these dishes are part of our landscape so it's fun to feel connected to that. I'm sure others might have different reasons, but these are just a couple that come to mind. 🌸

Allergic to tofu..........so no miso either
Hi. Not all misogyny is soy. Check them out 😊
Yes, @athletemum is correct. Some miso is made without soy. But you can add a touch of coconut aminos or even just some salt and pepper if you'd like to keep it simple.

Sorry I meant r8nse them.
I think I knew what you meant and answered both questions above. I definitely drain them, but I don't usually rinse them because I like that "funky" aquafaba flavor on the beans. But I'm weird, so you can rinse them if you like! 😋
If you want it to taste like the thing, eat the thing!
I appreciate the simplicity of your intentions. For me personally? I absolutely have always hated the texture of fish. So to make a chickpea salad that tastes like tuna salad works for me. No harm in it! 🌸

What I don’t understand is y’all love vegetables so much but seem to always be trying to make vegetables and such things as y’all eat to taste like or resemble meat, this seems very hypocritical. Why not just enjoy your veggies and forget about meat all together?
It's a great question. And I can see from your perspective how this makes sense. Most people who are vegetarian, plant-based, and/or vegan didn't grow up that way. We grew up eating a standard diet, which might have included things like egg salad or tuna salad or chicken salad. So, using plants and creative spices to recreate those flavors is only natural. It might be like if you lived your whole life in Missouri and you loved Missouri potato salad (it is really good!), and you moved to New York and the only potato salad you could find was the kind in stores and it was nowhere close to what you grew up eating. So, you recreated a version that tastes like what you grew up eating. It's very creative and rewarding. 🌸
I’m no hater but the vegan movement should really try to eat actually green vegetables. You know it’s only a matter of time before they start to alter the chickpeas due to the popularity. It happens in the meat eating world too…
I eat a big green salad almost every day! But, alas, I don't think that would make a popular video. Haha. 😂
Why not just call these chickpea salad? Why use the names of the dreaded animal products? Lol.
I believe there is an actual Mediterranean dish referred to as chickpea salad so the name is already taken. But the good news is there are no animal products in these recipes! 🌷
That was a lot of smoked paprika! You didn't taste any of your creations.
Oops. I should have waited until the end. You do taste your creations!
@@pamp3445 Yes! I always taste them at the end. I agree it may seem like a lot of smoked paprika - and you should alter it to your own tastes - but my hubby is one of those "super tasters" - he is very sensitive to strong flavors and he even liked the ham version. All the ingredients get absorbed so well in this salad - it works! But another idea is you can substitute a little bit of smoke sauce (sold near BBQ sauce in most stores) to create that smoky flavor. If you choose to do that, I would probably add a bit of roasted beets for color. Sending hugs! 🌺
