Chickpea and Tuna Salad
Inspired by the famous Jennifer Aniston salad, this is an easy and delicious fresh salad that packs a nutritional punch and can be enjoyed for lunch, as a dinner side dish, or put inside a wrap. The options are plentiful, and so is the bright flavor. Plus, you can easily customize it to your taste preferences.
Chickpea and Tuna Salad
by Kristina Case
1 can albacore tuna, in water, drained
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Juice from half a lemon
2 tsp olive oil
1 TBL apple cider vinegar
1 TBL capers
Salt and pepper
Mix and smash above ingredients in a salad bowl.
Add:
1 cup diced cucumber (I like to take out the seeds)
1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
½ cup celery, diced
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed (you can add more if you like)
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Optional add ins: toasted pecans or almonds, crumbled feta cheese, pickled onions, pumpkin seeds, cooked brown rice or quinoa, and arugula. I really like ALL these additions, but not all at once.
Mix everything together and season to taste, adding more olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar or salt and pepper as you like. This salad is customized to your taste so add additional seasonings or items from the optional ingredient list above.
Serve immediately. This stores well in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
