If you are looking for a healthy and quick lunch idea, look no further. This chickpea tuna salad is so easy to make and is a perfect dish when you are craving something healthy and filling. The chickpeas and tuna are a great source of protein, so it will keep you full longer. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, this salad tastes great with avocado and onions as well. If making a large batch to have for a few days, I would suggest adding the fresh spinach right before you eat, so that it does not get too soft.
