Directions

  1. 1

    Add chickpeas to a large bowl and use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash the chickpeas until some are broken down. I like to mash some while leaving others whole, this creates a great texture for the salad.

    To the same bowl, add in the tuna, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, red onion, celery, capers, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
