Serve this mustardy chickpea and tuna salad over an herby green mix or on top of celery that is sliced thinly on the bias. We use green Sicilian Castelvetrano olives but you can swap in your favorite olive variety (sold in brine, not oil). Grate the garlic on a rasp grater or zester for a quick and easy way to finely mince it—just watch your fingers. The flavors of this salad deepen as it sits so make it a few hours ahead if possible.
