3. Crumble or finely chop the nori sheet and fold it into the mixture to add a 'seafood' flavor. Adjust the amount to your taste.
4. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
6. Spoon the vegan tuna salad onto the toasted bread slices, spreading evenly.
7. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
