I found this recipe on a can of "Bush's" garbanzo beans. This is one of my favorite lunches now. Tossed on top of some lettuce or stuffed into a pita. Let me kow if you try any successful variations.

  • 2 (16 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained (garbanzo beans)

  • 1 (9 ounce) can tuna
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (freshly cracked if you have it)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  2. 2
    For best results let it marinate at least one hour before serving.
  3. 3
    See I said it was simple.

Quick it right! I put this together in 5 min and it was healthy, tasty, and fresh feeling. The only change I made was I used a spring onion instead of a cooking onion. Thanks for sharing, I'll make this often.

    Loved it! I made it up at the beginning of the week for lunches. Hubby and I took it in Pita pockets for lunch. Very yummy!

    I really liked this salad and have made it about three times since I ran across the recipe. Sorry for the slow reviewing, especially on such a good recipe. Twice now I've ended up chopping up a lot more parsley and I really liked it that way too. I threw in the whole bunch of parsley, chopped up with the celery and onion in the food processor, and it made it almost like a tabbouleh or a parsley salad. Thanks so much for the great alternative to the mayo-based salads and a terrific lunch idea.

    Lots of leftover crudite here so I threw in some diced carrots and cucumbers as well. Made my dressing from scratch using 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of water and the balance of the 1/3 cup was balsamic vinegar, seasoned with a minced clove of garlic, some chopped basil and oregano. The variations are infinite here.
