4-23-21 excellent, cold salad so maybe great in the summer but pretty great today, our tuna was in water so added some olive oil to it..

This lemony bean salad is a good base to add any raw, roasted, or grilled veggies you have on hand.

DirectionsInstructions Checklist
Step 1
In a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper. Add chickpeas, green onions, roasted red peppers, and parsley; stir to combine. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.

Step 2
Fold in tuna. Top with cheese and additional parsley and ground black pepper. Serves 6.

Tip
If not serving the salad straight away, cover and chill up to 4 hours.Consider this salad as a starting place and swap and add as you like. Try white beans instead of chickpeas; use a mix of chopped fresh herbs or all basil or cilantro for the parsley. No tuna? Swap in 1 3/4 cups chopped cooked chicken or a 4-ounce piece smoked salmon, flaked, with skin and bones removed. What veggies do you have on hand? Try quartered and sliced cucumber or zucchini, chopped broccoli, cooked corn, frozen peas, or coarsely chopped artichoke hearts instead of or along with the tomatoes.
