A frozen banana thawed and run in a blender along with strawberries, blueberries, cubed mango, silken tofu and crushed ice to make a freaking awesome and refreshing smoothie. (Brain freeze on the house.)

I never quite get how that sort of thing is called tuna (which is soooo not veg) - but never mind

I could call it mock tuna salad if that helps.

Me neither as chickpeas and tuna don't taste the same. I would imagine that vegans are always looking for substitutes for their favourite meals when they were omnis.

That is true.

I think the mock tuna salad is called that because it shares many ingredients with tuna salad and it resembles it.
Here's a link to a recipe (I haven't tried it yet - it's close to what I make except it has noot and soy sauce). According to the blog this does taste like tuna salad.

I noticed that the above recipe is very popular in the US. As the ingredients (pickles, raw onion and capers) are so overpowering, you don't really get a taste of the original ingredient ; tuna.

It doesn't have any tuna in it. It's a chickpea salad that resembles a tuna salad in looks and possibly in flavor.
But if you're talking about actual tuna salad (which I think you are) back in my meat eating days I used to make it with dill pickle relish, onion, celery, prepared mustard, and mayonnaise. And I would argue that those ingredients didn't hide the tuna flavor, but instead enhanced it.

--This was one of the first actual recipes I ever assembled when I was young and was one of the things that started me enjoying the art of cooking (I was a professional cook). So even though I no longer make it I still feel the need to defend the recipe.

It all boils down to personal taste. I don't really like the above ingredients except for mustard and mayonnaise which I sometimes used with the omni ingredient. I find that tasty food doesn't need to be paired with
too many overpowering ingredients.

The best tuna sandwich ( back in my omnis days) that I have ever tasted was in the UK at a café in Hyde Park.
