Chickpea salad with tuna
8 servings
15 minutes
Either Nicoise, or Greek, or that same arugula, just not with shrimp - this salad refers to several iconic and favorite dishes at once. Lots of greens and onions, canned tuna and chickpeas, vegetables, onions, feta and a dressing of olive oil with lemon juice - this is the Mediterranean, which is easy to transfer to your plate at any time of year.
