Ingredients

  • mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
    2 tbsp.
  • extra-virgin olive oil
    2 tbsp.
  • fresh lemon juice
    1 tbsp.
  • dijon mustard
    1 tsp.
  • each kosher salt and black pepper
    ¼ tsp.
  • a few dashes of hot sauce

    such as tabasco or cholula

  • can chickpeas
    1
  • can tuna

    drained, packed in water

    1
  • finely chopped celery
    3 tbsp.
  • minced red onion
    2 tbsp.
  • finely chopped fresh dill
    2 tbsp.
  • roughly chopped capers

    green olives, or relish

    1 tbsp.
  • serve over arugula with a drizzle of olive oil

    or spread on whole-grain bread for a sandwich, or simply enjoy with whole-grain crackers or pita chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl; whisk to combine.

  2. 2

    Drain and rinse chickpeas, and dry with a clean kitchen towel. If desired, peel and discard loose skins, and transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl. (I like to mash some of the chickpeas with a fork to help the salad better stick together, however this is optional.)Add tuna, celery, onion, capers (or olives), fresh dill, and dressing; stir to combine. Serve in a sandwich or wrap, over a bed of arugula, or with crackers.
