This is a salad that came together as a request from my husband. He loves tuna. Viola! I have had nothing but raves for this salad most saying it is a refreshing one. Make sure to chill the chickpeas and tuna well..they will be the last thing you'll add to this colourful, crisp salad. When you are mixing the dressing and all the individual ingredients the goal is to move quickly until the finish line. If not, the chopped vegetables will become soggy in the dressing while you are preparing the rest of the salad.
