Tuna, Chickpea, and Grilled Chicken Bean Salad

Ingredients

• canned tuna (Drained)
• Dijon mustard (The transcript specifies 1 tablespoon, but the quantity is not stated clearly enough to preserve as an authoritative measurement.)
• olive oil (A little, for mixing with the tuna)
• capers
• chickpeas (Also called garbanzo beans)
• cucumbers
• fresh parsley
• tomatoes
• red onion (Diced; pickled red onions are normally used, but diced fresh red onion was used here)
• pecans (Chopped)
• grilled chicken (The creator describes this as an optional addition used for extra protein)
• 1 cup brown rice (Optional; add for a heartier salad)
• salad dressing (The transcript says to add dressing over the salad, but does not provide its ingredients or quantity)

Steps

1. 1

   Place drained canned tuna in a bowl and mash it with a fork to separate the pieces.

2. 2

   Add the Dijon mustard, a little olive oil, and the capers to the tuna. Mix until combined.

3. 3

   Add the chickpeas, cucumbers, fresh parsley, tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped pecans, and grilled chicken to the tuna mixture.

4. 4

   Mix the salad thoroughly so the tuna mixture and ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. 5

   For a heartier salad, add 1 cup of brown rice. This step is optional.

6. 6

   Pour the dressing over the salad.

7. 7

   Mix everything together again, then serve immediately. The creator notes that it can be eaten with a spoon.

Notes

Most ingredient quantities are not provided in the supplied description or transcript. The transcript mentions 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, but the remaining quantities are unspecified and the full recipe link is not available. The dressing's ingredients are also not given. Pickled red onions are the usual choice according to the creator, who substituted diced fresh red onion in the video.
