Chickpea “Tuna” Salad
Chickpeas are rich in vitamins, fiber (great for digestion!) and are also high in protein, which make them a wonderful substitute for vegan and vegetarian recipes. This dish is delicious, savory, and comforting, and a great way to use up the can of chickpeas collecting dust in your pantry. Although raw red onion is not for everyone, it adds a kick to this recipe and provides a boost of antioxidants and contains antibacterial properties.
