need recipe: tuna salad without mayo

[LGBurns]

I posted a similar thread earlier with no luck but I thought I'd try again. Anyone have a CL recipe from a few years back (pre-96) that is for tuna salad with chickpeas? Or does anyone have a suggestion for a good tuna salad without mayo?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a recipe w/out mayo but if you just don't want real mayo, there are plenty of no egg mayos and such available at health food stores. How about a cheese sauce?

Here's another one. This one used fresh tuna instead of canned.

Tuna Salad with Garbanzo Beans

Description: This light salad, made with fresh tuna, can be used as an appetizer or the main event for lunch. Serves 12-16.

Ingredients
2 pounds fresh tuna
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 cup Kalamata olives in olive oil
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained
2 teaspoons rosemary

Spray a large heavy skillet with cooking spray. Brown tuna over medium heat, about 5 minutes on each side. (center should be moist but not pink). Remove from heat, cool and flake.

In a large bowl, combine mustard, spices, vinegar and lemon juice. Whisk in olive oil until blended. Add tuna, olives, garbanzo beans and rosemary. Toss to coat. Refrigerate and serve at room temperature.

LauraB: That's it! I'm always looking for new lunch ideas and I've never been big on ordinary tuna salad. Thanks to both LauraB and kentgirl for responding http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif
