The Rawtarian's Thoughts

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 :)

yummy! We did add a dill pickle - but this really helped my husband out...he loved it as much as the subway tuna sandwiches which are also his favorite!

Looks amazing, thank you. Will be trying it this weekend. I think I will substitute seaweed for salt for "fishier" flavour. I have some amazing wakame and dulse that I am quite addicted to.

Oh, this was so good. I used sunflower seeds in place of walnuts and had it on romaine lettuce with avocado. :) It's been ages since I've had tuna but I remember it tasting a lot like this!

I really want to try this recipe for Sabbath meal tomorrow. I will be sharing it with other people. How much does this recipe make?

Hi Char,
It depends on what you want to do with it. I would think it could be used for three-to-four servings.

Is the braggs soy sauce supposed to be amino acids?

Yes, another name for Bragg's is Bragg's Liquid Aminos, if memory serves me correctly

Hi, just discovered your site. I've read in several sources that Braggs is an excitotoxin. Have you come across this info? Im not raw but would like to be. As of now I have health issues and unable to do much food prepartion.

Aw, man! I wish I'd found this before I did today's post. I bet the walnut/cashew combo really makes a difference. I used sunflower seeds, just like Brigida. It wasn't great until I added some relish and Nayonnaise. My tiny plastic co-writers and I are bookmarking yours and looking forward to trying it the next time we're craving "tuna."

Brigida, so glad you enjoyed it :) Your substitutions sound soo yummy. I have never made eggplant crackers, nor have I heard of them before! What a great idea. I will have to try that one.

I made this with sunflower seeds instead, and a dash of laurel powder and thyme and fresh parsley to enhance digestion and ooh mayo!!! =D
Thank you for this lovely recipe. I shall make some eggplant crackers (just slice one quarter of a inch slices, put a little salt and dehydrate until crispy) to eat with it!
