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 :)

Hi Laura-Jane,
Your recipe calls for coconut butter. Would it work without it or possibly coconut oil?
Many thanks!

Hi Laura, Woops, I meant to write "coconut oil" not "coconut butter." Just corrected the recipe. So to answer your question, yes, use coconut oil! And thanks for your question, because it brought my mistake to my attention. Thank you! :)

Just bought your app! Hopefully it will be easier than going to the website when I make something. Btw, not sure if you got my other post but I was wondering if you could tell me where you get your cashews? I used to get them from WF but found out they were pasteurized.

Hi Jessica, I buy my cashews from nuts.com . Hope you are enjoying the app! I find it very handy when actually uncooking in the kitchen

I was too tire to make it that night but I made it last night and it was totally delicious! I used collards but I think the eggplant cracker would taste much butter. It really looked and tasted like tuna so I seasoned it as I would a tuna salad (more pepper, oregano, paprika- some basil) thanks so much I love you website! (I'm still a pescatarian but I've been about 98% raw the past 2 weeks)

Can we omit nutritional yeast? Will it work without it? Why do you use it?

Hi Lizzie, in this particular recipe it is not mandatory. I just use it for flavor - it has a kind of cheesy flavor!

This raw tuna has become a staple of my 80-90% raw diet. I have been having for lunch 2-4 times a week on many different types of raw bread, usually with some type of cashew based cheese with tomato, lettuce and raw mayo- very satisfying and delicious

This looks yummy! I've got a recipe for mock tuna salad that is a bit more healthy:
3 cups sunflower seeds soaked
1/4 cup celery
1/4 cup green onion
1/4 cup dill weed or less to your taste
dulse flakes (although I have never used them)
salt and pepper
pulse in food processor and mix with sauce
Sauce:
1/4 cup stone ground mustard
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 1/4 cup cashews and macadamia nuts
3/4 cup coconut water
1/2 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper
add sauce slowly and let sit overnight
enjoy <3

Hi Heather, this sounds quite a bit like my other tuna salad recipe (although not identical at all) -thanks for sharing!

Over the weekend I plan on making this, however I have a few questions.. How strong does the carrot taste in it, and is it a vital ingredient? Because I really hate carrots for some reason, unless they are in a carrot cake.
And the soy sauce, could I use just white vinegar or white wine vinegar to replace it you think? Also, could I use raw tahini to replace nutritional yeast? When I make cashew alfredo, the one ingredient that gives is a super strong cheesy flavor is the tahini I add. Thanks!!

This was yummi. However, after I was done eating - looking back over the recipe, I forgot to add the coconut butter. Yet it still came out tasty. I did not miss it. I added a whole tomato because I had Roma tomatoes. I also added 1 tbsp of soaked Wakame and one celery. Since I did not have walnuts but had soaked almonds and soaked pumpkin seeds on hand I added that for the 1/2 cup. But I can't wait to try it with walnuts when I have them again. I'm totally out of crackers or bread but had a sweet potato that I ever so thinly sliced for a substituted cracker. I really enjoyed the taste and just a side note the cat kept on thinking I was eating Tuna and begging me for some. Lol. This is my first time posting and I want you to know I LOVE your website. I am just starting out raw and this site is invaluable to me! Thank you.

I am one week in to eating something like 80% raw. I've been having most meals raw and have had one cooked in 7 days. So far I love it so much! This recipe is wonderful and super easy. I do have a question- is there any way to find out the nutrition info- fat/cal/sodium ect....on raw meals(like this one) with out trying to calculate the ingredients and dividing it myself? Thanks!

Just wondering why you think this one is not so healthy compared to your other tuna salad recipe? I was never big on tuna salad and the thought of your SAD Subway sandwich is not appealing at all, (I was more of a salami type) but I might just have to try this one. ;-)

this was has a lot of fat (coconut oil) compared to the other one, although they are both nut-based
