Course Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can garbanzo beans
  • 1 can tuna (in oil or water)
  • 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 red onion, 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
  • Pepper

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.
  • Add the drained garbanzo beans and the rest of the veggies. Sprinkle the lemon juice all over and toss lightly being careful not to crush the beans.
  • Mix the dressing well in a jar; it will be thick. If it’s too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix well again.
  • Drizzle the dressing all over the salad and toss a few more times until distributed evenly.
