I am beyond thrilled with the amount of plant-based meat alternatives available in the market today. Recently, two of my favorite vegan food chefs, Chad and Derek Sarno, launched the sustainable, plant-based seafood company Good Catch Foods.
While many people believe consuming seafood is part of a healthy lifestyle, fish and shellfish actually contain unavoidable and invisible toxic heavy metals and micro-plastics, which are detrimental to optimal health and wellbeing. With Good Catch Foods products, you and your loved ones can still enjoy your favorite tuna dishes, without forgoing the impact that consuming seafood has on your personal health and contributing to the negative impact that the seafood farming industry has on the health of our environment.
If what you're looking for is a plant-based tuna product that's as close to the real thing as you can get, then look no further. Good Catch offers three delicious flavors of plant-based "tuna" that have a texture identical to real tuna, but don't have that "fishy" smell (I think everyone can agree that's a good thing!).
This grown-up version of a traditional "tuna" salad is so mouthwatering, I actually almost ate all four servings in one sitting. I cooked my quinoa right before assembling the salad, and the soft, warm grains were a delicious contrast to the cold, juicy crunch of the apple and the sweet and tangy chew of the currants. The jalapeño-avocado-lime dressing makes this dish delightfully creamy and offers just a hint of spice. The toasted macadamia nuts give this dish a nutty finish that will most definitely keep you coming back for more.
