I am the first to admit that I am really bad at eating lunch. I am a little better when I am at work, but I need some help! I either eat a sodium-packed lean cuisine, or I eat nothing at all. As part of my 2019 goals, I am trying to be better at eating lunch. The first step in the right direction is finding food I actually want to eat and that is easy to prepare. I love tuna salad, but I really don’t like mayonnaise, and I really don’t like the calories that come with it. I found an amazing recipe sans the mayo! Give it a try! Meghan
Italian Tuna Salad
Ingredients
15 oz can chickpeas, drained
1 can tuna, drained (I used solid albacore in water)
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro (I didn’t have fresh, so I used dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground pepper
Lettuce (optional)
Bread (optional)
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined.
Serve with bread, over lettuce, or enjoy on its own!
