Tuna, Chickpea and Broccoli Salad


This light tasty salad has great flavour and colour. It is best eaten immediately but can be stored in the fridge if the dressing is kept separate and poured over the tuna, broccoli and chickpeas just before serving. The broccoli will retain its fresh green colour if it doesn't come into contact with the acid from the dressing.
