This has been a favorite lunch of mine lately. I love the addition of the chickpeas to the tuna salad. It gives you more protein and fiber helping this salad keep you full longer. The pickles and capers give it the best crunch and brininess. The champagne vinaigrette gives it a nice zest. I love that this is a lighter tuna salad with no mayo. This is delicious served alone or on little lettuce boats! This will save in the fridge a few days!
