Description
These Chickpea “Tuna” Salad Cucumber Stacks have become an easy go-to bite for me. They require zero cooking, take roughly 10 minutes or less to whip up and make for great on-the-go snacks. It’s essentially a cucumber sandwich, if you will, with a hearty filling of chickpea based “tuna salad”.
