Mock Tuna Salad

I'm in the mood for some culinary sleight-of-hand this evening, even though it's T-minus 6 days. So I'm going to make a batch of Mock Tuna Salad. I got the recipe here.

I made this a few weeks back on my 1-week-raw trial, and I was delightfully surprised at how much it tasted like tuna salad. I even gave Mr. Meat-and-Potatoes a small spoonful, and he was impressed at the taste, even though he thought that it resembled cat vomit.

I prefer to view it as "nut pate." Here it is served up on a green lettuce leaf & thin sliced tomatoes with Fuji apple wedges. Mmmm, don't you feel healthier just looking at it?

I made 2 changes: I don't have coconut butter in my larder (although I will acquire that from my local health food store soon) so I substituted an equal measure of extra-virgin olive oil. And instead of using fresh chopped onion, I cheated & used some onion granules from my spice rack.
