Mediterranean Tuna and Legume Salad
Flaky tuna and hearty chickpeas tossed in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette with crisp cucumbers and salty feta for a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Canned tuna in water
0.5 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Red onion
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 oz Feta cheese
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Drain the canned tuna and chickpeas thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve to ensure the salad remains crisp and doesn't become watery during storage.
In a small glass jar or mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is fully emulsified.
Dice the cucumber and red onion into small, uniform pieces and slice the cherry tomatoes into halves.
Place the drained tuna in a large mixing bowl and flake it gently with a fork, then add the chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the prepared lemon-herb vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently with a large spoon to coat everything evenly.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and transfer the salad into a portable, airtight glass container for a perfect on-the-go work lunch.
