Toast the bread until golden and crisp, then break it into breadcrumb-sized pieces and set aside.

In a large salad bowl, combine the radishes, green onions, tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, canned tuna or salmon, chickpeas, parsley, and mint. Toss well.

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
