How to Make Tuna Garbanzo Bean Salad

  1. Drain and rinse one 15-ounce can of garbanzo beans. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the garbanzo beans with two 5-ounce cans of tuna (drained), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (halved).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (optional). Serve chilled or at room temperature.
