TUNA SALAD WITH GRAPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork, leaving only a few beans whole.
• Add tahini, mustard, maple syrup, red onion, celery, pickle, capers, salt and pepper, and sunflower seeds (if using) to mixing bowl. Mix to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Toast bread if desired, and prepare any other desired sandwich toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, and onion).
• Scoop a healthy amount of the chickpea mixture (about ½ cup) onto one slice of bread, add desired toppings and top with second slice of bread. Repeat for additional sandwiches.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble 7 slices of bacon; mix with sunflower seeds in a resealable bag.
• Combine broccoli, onion, and grapes in a bowl.
• Crumble the remaining bacon slice. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl; fold in the 1 slice crumbled bacon. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture; toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 2 hours.
• Sprinkle bacon-sunflower seed mixture over salad before serving; mix well.
