Easy Chickpea Tuna Salad Recipe
This easy chickpea tuna salad takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, it’s protein-packed and healthy, and takes advantage of canned tuna. Yep, that old standby that’s readily available and inexpensive which is such a nice bonus these days with groceries being as expensive as they are!

I also added celery and dill pickles for crunch, salty capers, red onions, garlic, and fresh dill for tons of flavor. When you’re in need of an easy, fast, and healthy lunch idea which is naturally gluten-free, this is a winner. Or make it as a side salad to serve with dinner, this one is great.
