Really just make your favorite chicken or tuna salad and replace the meat with 3 cans slightly mashed garbanzo beans. I havent ever used vegan mayo so you are on your own there but I have heard good things about Follow your Heart brand from several people on the vegan boards.
3 cans garbanzo beans
1/3 c. Mayo or vegenaise
1/2 tsp. mustard
3 or 4 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
Mortons natures seasons to taste OR Salt & Pepper
Drain and rinse beans really well. Mash with a fork or a potatoes masher. You want them broken up but not pureed. Combine beans with remaining ingredients.
For chicken salad: Combine scant 2 Tbsp. boiling water and 1 chicken bouillon cube until dissolved, stir into the mayo for a more chicken flavor. Vegetarians use 1/2 of a imitation chicken cube
