Helpful Tips

• Variations: Add other favorite vegetables like shredded carrots or radishes for more crunch and color.
• Storage: Store leftover chickpea and tuna mixture and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble bowls just before eating.
• Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of tahini for a different flavor profile, or swap chickpeas with white beans for variation.
