Summer Chickpea & Tuna Salad

Ingredients
1 (400 ml) can chickpeas
2 (100 g) cans of chunk white tuna packed in water (no salt added)
⅓ red onion, finely chopped
1 cup packed parsley, roughly chopped
¼ cup poppy seeds
Juice of half a lemon
Domenica Fiore Reserva organic extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt

Method
Drain and rinse chickpeas. Put in mixing bowl. Drain tuna. Break into small pieces and add to chickpeas. Add red onion, parsley and poppy seeds. Run a sharp knife back and forth through the ingredients so chickpeas and tuna get a bit broken up. Squeeze in lemon juice, stir in several long glugs of olive oil. Stir. Add salt to taste. Serve over a bed of Boston lettuce.
