Place the almonds and sunflower seeds in a bowl and soak them for at least 4 hours.

Strain the almonds and sunflower seeds in a fine mesh sieve and transfer them to a blender or food processor until fine and minced. Transfer into a bowl.

Add celery, onion, pickles, herbs, lemon juice, kelp, salt and pepper to the almond and sunflower seed mixture and stir thoroughly. Set aside.

Spread Dijon mustard on rye bread.

Using a large spoon, scoop a generous helping of "tuna" mixture on each slice of bread. Top with butter lettuce and tomato. 

Serve with crackers or veggies, or make it into a sandwich or wrap with your favorite fixings.

Enjoy!
