Chickpea Tuna Salad

This chickpea tuna salad is the perfect option for an easy vegan lunch. I like mine loaded with carrots, celery and almonds and spiced up with lemon juice, Dijon mustard and crushed red pepper.  Make it into a sandwich, stuff an avocado or wrap it up in lettuce leaves – it’s great however you choose to serve it!
