TUNA, CHICKPEAS AND BROCCOLI SALAD



Tuna, Chickpeas and Broccoli Salad image

This recipe is inspired by a common Italian combination, tuna and beans. It's a salad that keeps well in the refrigerator and one that's great to have on hand during the week. The broccoli will not retain its pretty green color once in contact with the acid in the dressing, so for best results keep the broccoli separate, along with a tablespoon of the dressing. Just before you want to eat, toss in the broccoli and extra dressing; or eat the broccoli separately with the dressing.

CHICKPEA AND TUNA SALAD



Chickpea and Tuna Salad image

Found this in Lidia Italy at Home, and it looks easy so how can it be bad with these ingredients? For a taste of it on a bruschetta grill slices of country bread. Allow for cooling time. Update - I made this again the other night and use crushed red pepper flakes instead of black pepper and I too reduced the amount of oil that I used.Also, served it with avocado slices(drizzled with lime juice)on the side. Delicious!
