A fresh and hearty Mediterranean tuna salad made with tuna, chickpeas, crisp vegetables, olives, and feta tossed in a lemony olive oil dressing, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.

Ingredients

2 cans tuna, drained (preferably packed in olive oil)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, finely sliced

1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1 cup chickpeas (canned or cooked), drained

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tbsp lemon juice

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the drained tuna in a large mixing bowl and flake gently with a fork.
  2. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, chickpeas, and parsley.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  5. Top with crumbled feta if using and serve immediately or chilled.

Notes

Use tuna packed in olive oil for richer flavor, but tuna in water also works.

Add arugula or spinach to turn it into a leafy green salad.

White beans can be substituted for chickpeas.

Roasted red peppers or capers add extra tang and sweetness.

Best served cold and great for meal prep.
