Garbanzo or chickpea salad with avocado and tuna fish

By Layla Pujol 1 Comment

Garbanzo or chickpea salad with avocado and tuna fish

This simple garbanzo or chickpea salad with avocado and tuna fish is one of those quick and delicious dishes that are perfect for a last minute meal but also prepared ahead of time. This refreshing salad is made with garbanzo beans or chickpeas, avocado, tuna fish, red onions, tomato, lemon, mustard, olive oil, and cilantro.

Avocado, tuna and chickpea salad

For a vegetarian option, you can leave the tuna fish out of this chickpea salad. You can serve the salad as a starter salad or side dish. You can also place it on top of lettuce leaves. Another delicious option is to serve it as an appetizer with crackers or garlic toast. The salad tastes even better if you prepare it ahead of time and let the flavors marinate before serving, in this case I would recommend adding the avocado right before serving. Feel free to customize it and add additional vegetables and fresh herbs.

    I love this salad, and so does everyone who tastes it! I use grilled chicken since my husband hates canned tuna.
