The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw vegan tuna and mayo combination. I know, sounds like nothing special, right? There are a gajillion raw vegan tuna and mayo combos out there, right?
Well, this raw vegan tuna recipe is different. Let me tell you why.
Before I went raw I was a kinda-vegetarian who also ate seafood. My one weakness as a seafood-eating vegetarian was tuna--especially tuna subs from Subway. In fact, tuna subs have been the #1 thing that I miss most about my old standard American diet!
Lately for some reason I have been really craving a tuna sub. Over the past couple of weeks I've spent a long time thinking about what makes the tuna from Subway so darn delicious, and I have finally come up with my raw vegan tuna and mayo combo that I think rivals Subway's tuna recipe.
What I like about this recipe that I've created is that it really tastes like it's got tuna (salty) and mayo (fatty/oily) all rolled up into one creamy, filling spread.
This recipe is pretty heavy and full of lots of fats and salts, from the coconut butter, nuts, Braggs and nutritional yeast. You'll find that you feel quite full after eating just a bit of this raw vegan tuna and mayo combo. Although this raw vegan tuna and mayo concoction is really easy to make, I don't think I'll be making it very often because it is pretty unhealthy--well, unhealthy as far as raw vegan meals go! But it sure is nice to have something I can turn to when I am really craving those tuna subs!
Also note: In this pic I mixed my final "tuna" mixture with some chopped parsley, that's why it has some green flecks in it :)

Raw vegan tuna and mayo combo
This came out well-much to my surprise. Although I am not 100% raw vegan, I will use this instead of eating tuna salad!

Love it Janelle! What did you eat it with?

A lettuce wrap with some tomato slices on the inside. It was great!

Raw vegan tuna and mayo combo
Hmmm, I think it's a little overpowering - maybe less Braggs... Definitely good start - it's great in a sandwich.

Could definitely use some tweaking!

Raw vegan tuna and mayo combo
I loved this recipe. Do youbthink it would keep in the fridge for a day or two? Would be great for a work lunch but I never have time in the morning to make it,so would have to be made the night before and ideally enough for a few days. What do you think?

Hi Holly, yes, this recipe keeps very well in the fridge for around 4 days.
Glad to have you here!

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful recipe. I'm a tuna buff and since recently going vegan, I was looking for a replacement! I was wondering though, if this would work without the nutritional yeast. I've been off yeast for a couple of years due to some health issues, and try not to touch the stuff.
Thanks!

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast, so it won't make things rise and is not a replacement for yeast when baking. It does not cause the same issues inside your body that active yeast does. I have Candida and eat Nutritional Yeast nearly everyday and have not had any issues in over a year. My candida is almost gone eating a raw lifestyle and using nutritional yeast. It really does help with the cheesy flavor. Hope that helps. :)

Hi Rebecca,
It's insightful, helpful comments like yours that make this place great!

I too was a tuna buff so I feel your pain! It would be okay without the nutritional yeast, it is just there for flavor. Maybe you could use 1 tablespoon onion powder instead, or just omit it completely.
Hope this helps Marcie!

Raw vegan tuna and mayo combo
Thanks for that!
I will try it at some stage..
The only drawback is that I've found with other recipes (like cheese and houmous) that are cashew based, that they don't keep very well (not more than 3 days tops) so I can't make large batches at a time anymore. (I like to cook and prepare big batches of food since I don't have time and energy to cook every day.)

Mmm yes... keeping things good in the fridge is a challenge! Good idea to do big batched. Do you dehydrate? I make big batches of crackers and freeze them, and they're handy.

Raw vegan tuna and mayo combo
Our problem is that we can't eat the stuff quickly enough :-). I wish I had a dehydrator, I'd love to do my own chips and crackers. We settle for buckwheat cakes (we're trying to go completely gluten free).

Marcie, I highly recommend a dehydrator!
Best dehydrator is 9-tray excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
You can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done: http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3

This was fabulous! My (not raw) husband adored it and asked for it to be included in our regular rotation :) We served it with apple slices, cucumber slices, and yes... pickles.

Hi. Can you take out the coconut oil ingredient?

Hi Adam! The coconut oil is a must for this recipe, but you can try my other tuna spread instead - it doesn't call for it

Hi! I really like your site. It's so straight-forward and I'm exited to try some of the recipes soon! But I do not have a food processor. Why can't I make this recipe in a blender?
Best wishes, Lara.

Hi Lana, great to have you here! It won't work in a blender because a blender needs more liquid than is called for. Why don't you try my alfredo sauce or macaroni and cheese instead? (they are both savory blender recipes) Hope this helps!

It says to process until it looks like the photo. So I process until it looks like apples and lettuce? :P
