A vibrant twist on classic tuna salad, combining chickpeas, tuna, fresh dill, and a tangy dressing for a nutritious and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 can tuna (packed in water, drained well)
  • 3 tbsp celery (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp minced red onion
  • 1 tbsp capers (drained)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Hot sauce to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce until smooth and creamy.
  2. Prepare the chickpeas: Rinse and thoroughly dry the chickpeas. You can choose to peel away any loose skins and mash a portion of them with a fork to create a better binding texture for the salad.
  3. Combine the ingredients: Place the prepared chickpeas in a bowl with the drained tuna, celery, onion, capers, and dill.
  4. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and fold gently until every ingredient is perfectly coated.
  5. Serve your salad: Enjoy immediately in a wrap, over a bed of fresh greens like arugula, or as a dip with your favorite crackers.

Notes

This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For a healthier sandwich, use whole-grain wraps.
