Today's lunch

Tuna Salad stuffed Cucumber and Roasted Chickpeas

While neither of these recipes are my invention, I feel an obligation to share my adaptations of them because it was a delicious lunch!  Luckily two different friends shared these ideas with me.

Roasted Chickpeas
Drain 2 large cans & set aside to dry for a bit
Preheat oven to 350
Toss the chickpeas with a little olive oil, cayenne pepper & oregano.  (You can really use any spices that you like.)  Spread on baking sheet & bake for approximately 45-60 minutes.  They should be slightly crunchy when they are finished.

It's a great simple, healthy snack!

Healthy Tuna Salad
Cut a cucumber in half & scoop out the seeds from the center
In a small bowl mix:
 1 well drained can of tuna 
1 tomato, chopped
pickles or jalapenos, diced to taste
Fill your cucumber boat with the salad & enjoy!
