Chop the peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Mince or grate the garlic.
Make the salad dressing by combining lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk well.
Drain the liquid from the tuna can. You can even pat dry the tuna bits with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid. If you're using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
