A refreshing and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired salad combining chickpeas, tuna, and vibrant seasonings.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a large bowl.
Rinsing canned chickpeas removes excess sodium and enhances their flavor.
Add the tuna to the bowl, breaking it into smaller pieces.
Use a fork to gently flake the tuna for even distribution.
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the ingredients.
Adjust the dressing quantities to suit your taste preferences.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix everything gently.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the salad as a garnish.
Chop the parsley finely for a more even distribution.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
