Better-Than-Tuna, Chickpea Salad image

Inspired from the recipe in Vegan Table. "This recipe has all the flavor of the lunchtime staple but leaves the cholesterol, and mercury behind" I usually cut this recipe in HALF, and as you can see from the list of ingredients, that is quite easy to do! I also like to add dill pickle to mine, which I've listed below. Some chopped scallion might be nce too... ^_^

Steps:
