Notes
You can also use canned chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas drain and rinse it a couple of times.
If using dried chickpeas you will need around 2/3 - 3/4 cup of chickpeas.
The nt. wt of Tuna can that I used was 185gms.
If you have cherry tomatoes, that's ideal for this recipe. Another popular combo is chickpeas and avocado, so if you don't eat/like tuna, you can go for that combo.
