Ingredients

    2 cans tuna, canned in water
    Chickpeas, one can
    Celery, 1 cup diced
    Banana Peppers (optional), 1/4 cup
    Olive Oil, 3-4 TBS
    Juice of 1 lime (two if they're small.)
    Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Tips

This is a very versatile recipe! Sometimes I add red pepper flakes, or spinach, or red or green peppers to the mix!


Directions

Dice celery and banana peppers.
Rinse Chickpeas. Drain tuna. Add all of the above to a medium sized bowl and mix gently. Add lime juice and salt and pepper. Your tuna salad is ready to serve now, but I think it tastes better after an hour in the fridge to let the flavors meld.
