I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the tuna with chickpeas. It turned out really well!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the pictures. Maybe I just need more practice.

I found that the salad was a bit bland. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
