Tuna Sandwiches with a Mediterranean Flare

I've always loved tuna salad sandwiches since my mom made them for me when I was little. Here I've made a more flavorful and exciting twist on tuna salad with the addition of herbs, Greek yogurt, plenty of lemon juice and red onions.

Another thing I chose to do in this recipe is add chickpeas not only to make it more filling but to add more nutritional value and I served it in pita pockets because pita pockets and tuna salad just go together.

I absolutely love chickpeas because I am a huge hummus fan and what's a good, traditional mediterranean hummus without chickpeas? I've been eating hummus on a daily basis with my lunch lately. It's the best way to get my kids (and myself even) to eat a lot of veggies in one sitting.
