I love this salad because it is so refreshing and keeps me full for hours. It is one of my favorite go to meals when I want something healthy but do not want to spend much time in the kitchen.

The best part about this recipe is how you can use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge. If you want more crunch, add an extra handful of cabbage or some sliced radishes.

1 can of tuna in water, drained
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup shredded cabbage
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
