How to Make Sea Salad Mock Tuna Raw

  1. Place 1 cup sunflower seeds in a medium bowl and cover with cold water.
  2. Soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Drain the seeds thoroughly.
  4. Add the drained sunflower seeds, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to a food processor. Pulse until a chunky paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Transfer the sunflower seed paste to a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor), and 1/4 cup kelp granules (for a savory, ocean-like taste).
  6. Mix well to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
