Grilled Tuna With Chickpea and Spinach Salad

Grilled Tuna With Chickpea and Spinach Salad

Tuna is a sturdy fish that is easy to grill or broil. If you can't find beans labeled "low sodium," compare the Nutrition Facts panels to find the beans with the lowest amount of sodium. Rinsing can help further reduce the sodium level.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive or canola oil

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp oregano, minced (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 12 oz tuna steak, cut into 4 portions (3 oz each)

    Salad Ingredients

  • 1/2 can (15-1/2 oz) low-sodium chickpeas (or garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 medium tomato, rinsed and cut into wedges
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Directions
