This easy chickpea toona smash will remind you of the days when you used to eat tuna for lunch but instead it's cruelty free! When I was a kid, I LOVED tuna sandwiches for lunch. My mom made them so saucy with mayo and onion and I didn't care how bad my breath smelled when I brought it to school LOL! Moving into my adult life I definitely still ate it but as I started learning about animal agriculture and it's harmful effects on our environment, I stopped grabbing the tins of tuna to stock my pantry with.
