10 Minute creamy and decadent chickpea salad that is hearty and lasts longer then regular tuna in the fridge!

In life I have always been a problem solution type of person! This even goes for what to eat for lunch lol! I could eat tuna sandwiches for lunch everyday of my life! Growing up my Dad would make me the best Tuna Salad for lunch. I used to love those sandwiches. I crave tuna all the time but don’t want to bring it to work because it smells the office of tuna. Also it only last a couple days in the fridge before becoming watery. Then I saw chickpea tuna and thought OMG how can I make this so I can have tuna for lunch all week. The original recipe was vegan but I add Geek yogurt for tang. This is so amazing. It has the creamy comforting crunchy texture of tuna without the sharp fishy taste! Cheers to recipes that inspire and celebrate you!

This Recipes Hack (make it last longer):

When making the weeks lunches substituting chickpeas instead of tuna is an awesome time saver. Chickpeas last all week in the fridge so Sunday night you can make a big batch for the whole week.

You really do get paid to shop! I love:
