Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas

    Open the 2 cans of chickpeas and pour them into the colander over the sink. Rinse them under cold water, let them drain well, then tip them into the mixing bowl.

    Tip · Canned chickpeas sit in a slimy, salty liquid: rinse them until the water stops foaming, otherwise the salad will taste like the can.

  2. Drain and flake the tuna

    Open the 2 cans of tuna and pour them into the colander to get rid of all the liquid. Put the tuna in the mixing bowl and flake it with the spoon.

  3. Slice the red onion

    Peel the red onion and thinly slice it on the cutting board. Add it to the mixing bowl.

  4. Dice the tomatoes

    Wash the 2 tomatoes, remove the stems and cut them into small dice. Add them to the mixing bowl.

  5. Make the vinaigrette

    In the small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp of olive oil and the tbsp of lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour it over the salad and toss gently.

  6. Cut and add the avocado

    Halve the 2 avocados and remove the pits, then score the flesh into cubes right in the skin and scoop them out with the spoon. Add them to the mixing bowl and toss gently. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

    Tip · Add the avocado last and mix with the spoon without mashing: it stays in cubes and doesn't brown. Serve right away.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Avocado turns brown within hours once cut. Save it for the day you eat it, it'll look way more appetizing!
