Two posts in a week?! That’s some sort of record recently! 😉
I just knew I had to share this super quick and easy salad that I whipped up. It’s perfect to throw on top of lettuce, in a wrap or sandwich, with some crackers, or even just by itself.
Chick Pea Tuna Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients
– 1 can reduced sodium chick peas
– 1 5oz. packet chunk light tuna in water
– 2 tbsp hulled hemp seeds [optional]
– 20 cherry tomatoes; sliced in half
– 1/3 english cucumber; diced
– 1/2 red bell pepper; diced
– 3 stalks green onion; chopped
– 1/2 cup plain Chobani
– 2 tbsp dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp dried basil
– 1/2 tsp ground thyme
– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
– Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Combine chick peas through green onion in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients for the dressing and adjust seasonings to taste. Add the dressing to the large bowl and mix everything well to coat.
Couldn’t be much easier than that, right? You could always skip the tuna and make it a meatless meal too. And of course, feel free to change up the veggies or the spices for whatever mood you’re in!

What is your favorite creamy salad?
I love this idea! Like Tuna hummus… but you made it sound much better. LOL!
Thanks for linking up!!! I just pinned this to try. 🙂
Haha yea tuna hummus sounds.. interesting. Thanks for pinning.. let me know if you try 🙂
love tuna salad but the addition of chickpeas is awesome!
🙂 a little extra texture in there!
This actually sounds bomb! I would probably swap out of the yogurt for olive oil but everything else is staying put!
Thank you! I’d love to know if you do try it 🙂
Perfect timing. I just started adding a little seafood to my weekly menu so I’m def trying this. I never would have thought to add chickpeas to tuna.
Awesome, let me know if you try it! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
This looks delish! Love the combinations!
Thanks, Kierston!

If I can’t have dairy, do you think coconut milk yogurt would work? I know it would change the flavor, but Has anyone tried?
