Drain the canned tuna and the chickpeas thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until the dressing is well combined.
Add the drained tuna to the bowl and use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces, ensuring it is lightly coated in the dressing.
Fold in the chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and halved Kalamata olives.
Gently toss all ingredients together until the vegetables and proteins are evenly distributed and coated.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the Mediterranean flavors to meld.
