Ingredients:
- 1 can (340 g) of white tuna in its own juice (drain the broth and divide into pieces)
- 1 can (400 g) of chickpeas (drain and rinse)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

- 1 greenhouse cucumber, seeded and sliced
- 1 bunch of chopped green onions
- 0.5 l cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 pieces of pita or naan bread
- 1 head shredded romaine lettuce
Preparation:
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice. While whisking, slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the dill, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste.
- In a medium bowl, combine tuna, chickpeas, cucumber, onion, and tomatoes with 1/4 cup dressing.
