Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (5 ounces) solid white albacore tuna in water, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the drained garbanzo beans in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the drained tuna to the bowl, flaking it into bite-sized chunks using a fork.
  • Incorporate the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion into the mixture.
  • In a small separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until the dressing is fully emulsified.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently with a spatula to combine without mashing the beans.
  • Garnish with minced fresh parsley and serve at room temperature or chilled.
