Servings: persons

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 6- ounces cans tuna packed in oil, drained
2 cups drained and rinsed chickpeas (one 19-ounce can)
2 navel oranges
1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1 large fennel bulb, cut into quarters and then into thin slices
1 red onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, minced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

1
In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the oil slowly, whisking.
2
In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tuna and chickpeas. Gently stir in 1/4 cup of the dressing.
3
Using a stainless-steel knife, peel the oranges down to the flesh, removing all of the white pith. Cut the sections away from the membranes and set aside. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of the juice from the membranes into the remaining dressing.
4
Add the tuna and chickpeas, orange sections, lettuce, fennel, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to the dressing and toss gently.
5
Wine Recommendation: Instead of the more traditional riesling, accompany this tuna with a Pfalz spatlese made from scheurebe. The wine's wild, even exotic scents of grapefruit, orange peel, minerals, and flint will be a pleasant and harmonious surprise.
