Veggie Tuna Pasta Salad

This recipe is incredibly fast, easy, and tasty. Chickpeas are often used as a substitute for tuna in dishes.

Preparation time: 10-20 minutes

1 cup cooked elbow macaroni
1 can chick peas (drained)
1-3 cups vegan (or regular) mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 stock celery (optional)
1/2 chopped onion (optional)
Salt, Pepper, & your fav. spices (to taste)

Directions:

Put drained chick peas in a bowl with a little of the 'mayonnaise' and mush them to a consistency that you like.

Add macaroni and the rest of the 'mayonnaise', mustard, and spices. (Garlic salt and onion powder are good, although the macaroni sucks up a lot of the mayo so you might have to add more later).

Add celery and onion.

It's best, just like any other pasta salad, if you let it sit in the fridge a while before eating it.

This is also great on sandwiches with lettuce and tomato. It's really flexible!
