In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, juice from half a lemon, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and cube the avocado.
In a large serving bowl, add the drained tuna, cooked chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and cubed avocado.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently mix everything together until well coated. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
For an extra crunch, add some finely diced red onion or cucumber to the salad.
If you don't have fresh lemon, a good quality white wine vinegar can be used as a substitute in the dressing.
This salad is perfect for meal prep! Store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and prevent the avocado from browning.
