Better "Tunafish" Sandwich

This better "tunafish" sandwich has all the great texture and taste of this classic sandwich without any animal products. Whether you're vegan or not, this combination of crisp onions and celery with coconut and chick peas makes for a delicious guilt-free lunch that I'd argue tastes better than the original tunafish sandwich.
