Quick Tuna and Garbanzo Salad

So, I was looking for some new recipes to try out this past week, and thought I'd look at some recipes on +ZoneDiet. One of the recipes I found was this Quick Tuna and Garbanzo Salad. I love tune salad, and thought this was a twist on something I already eat. The only drawback I initially had about the recipe was using extra virgin olive oil instead of the mayo, but thought I'd give it a try. After making this recipe, I'm not sure I will go back to making regular tuna salad. I say this in part, because with this recipe I noticed that I was full for several hours after eating, which is a good thing when you pair the right foods together. I tried the lemon juice with this recipe and thought it was pretty good, don't know about the balsamic vinegar. So, if you happen to try this recipe with the vinegar, let me know what you think.
