TUNA, RED ONION, AND PARSLEY SALAD
This is my take on a salad featured in Bon Appetit. While I use a combination of fat-free mayonnaise and sour cream to make this consistent with the WW Core program, you should feel free to simply use 1/4 cup of your mayonnaise of choice. Please note cooking time is chilling time.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD
While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Steps:
- In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Mediterranean oregano, (pinch or rub dried oregano to release more flavor) lemon herb seasoning, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika and pepper to make the dressing.
- Put garbanzo beans in colander and rinse well with cold water, let drain. Pat dry with paper towels if needed so the beans are relatively dry.
- Put the drained & dried beans into a bowl and mix in a quarter of the dressing. Let beans marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
- Wash the cilantro and parsley, spin dry, and finely chop. (You can use just parsley if you are not a cilantro fan.) Chop the red pepper and red onion. Chop roasted red pepper and peperoncini. Blot the sun dried tomatoes with paper towel to remove excess oil then chop.
- Drain oil from tuna and discard. Put tuna in mixing bowl and break apart with a fork a little, keeping it slightly chunky. Add the marinated beans and dressing, red pepper, red onion, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper and peperoncini, chopped cilantro and parsley and combine gently. (Don't over-mix.).
- Mix additional dressing into salad. If you prefer your salads a little more dry you may not want all the dressing. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes to meld flavors. Season to taste with more fresh ground black pepper and sea salt and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna you can find. Look for tuna that is bright red in color and has no fishy smell.
- If you are using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well and flake it with a fork before adding it to the salad.
- Red onion can be sharp, so if you don't like strong flavors, you can soak the onion in cold water for 30 minutes before adding it to the salad.
- Parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the salad. If you don't have parsley, you can substitute cilantro or basil.
- A good quality olive oil is essential for this salad. Look for an oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar if you like.
