Categories     Salad

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 small red onion (thinly sliced, about 1/2 cup)
1 15-ounce can reduced sodium chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes ( halved)
1 large seedless English cucumber (halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices (I leave the peel on))
1 red bell pepper (cored and cut into 1/4 inch strips, then cut into halves (or thirds if very long))
12 ounces solid pack albacore tuna in water (wild caught if possible)
3 cups arugula
1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped)
1/4 cup Feta Cheese
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad (this preserves its flavor but takes off some of the harshness...and the continual red onion after taste).
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, and bell pepper. Drain the tuna and flake into the bowl. Add the arugula.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. (You can also shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight fitting lid). Drizzle enough over the salad to moisten it, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the feta and parsley over the top, then toss lightly again. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, or dressing as desired. Enjoy!

THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

TUNA GARBANZO SALAD



Tuna Garbanzo Salad image

I love the light spicy flavor of the dressing on this salad. The original recommends using premium tuna (the kind that comes in a glass jar) but my grocer doesn't carry premium fish (at least I have never seen it there), so I just use good old Charlie the Tuna. If fresh arugula (rocket) is not available, use another soft green. I like to sub baby spinach or mixed field greens. From Cooking Light March 2007.
