- 1 cup packed parsley, chopped
- 1-2 pickles, diced small
- 2 Persian cucumbers, diced
- 1 red pepper (pickled from a jar or fresh), diced small

- 1 lemon, juice only
For Dressing:
- 1 heaping Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Pinch salt

Instructions
- Wash and drain the garbanzo beans.
- Drain the tuna and place in a salad bowl. Break the tuna with a fork or masher into small pieces.
