Ingredients:

Serving

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small red onion, chopped or 1/4 cup scallions, sliced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp fresh mint, chopped
3/4 cup tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
good pinch sea salt
black pepper to taste
1 small cucumber, chopped (optional)
2 oz feta, crumbled (optional)
1 can (5 oz) solid white tuna, drained and flaked (optional)

Directions:

Put rinsed and drained beans into a large mixing bowl. Toss, very gently, with the remaining ingredients. Let stand about a half hour before serving. The optional ingredients are not authentic - I just think any or all of them would be good with it.
