Notes
- To make this high protein chickpea tuna salad even quicker, you could use a vegetable chopper to chop everything up.
- The leftovers might lose a bit of flavor over time, but you can just add a squeeze of lemon juice to it all and some extra fresh herbs and it really brings it all back to life.
- We like leftovers in a pita with some cooked halloumi.
- You can peel off the "skin" from each chickpea if you prefer, but we don't mind leaving them on.
