Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
  • 1 can tuna packed in water, drained (5 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped capers, green olives, or relish

Method
 

  1. Start by combining the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Open the can of chickpeas and drain any excess liquid. Rinse them under cold water in a colander to remove any added sodium or preservatives.
  3. In the same bowl as your dressing, add the drained chickpeas along with the drained tuna. Use a fork to break apart the tuna into bite-sized pieces and gently fold everything together without mashing the chickpeas.
  4. Mix in the finely chopped celery, minced red onion, and fresh dill into your tuna-chickpea mixture.
  5. Toss in your choice of roughly chopped capers, green olives, or relish.
  6. Serve on a bed of arugula drizzled with olive oil, or spread on whole-grain bread.
  7. Take a moment to admire your creation before digging in.
