Ingredients

  • 1 can 5 oz tuna in olive oil, drained (or use tuna in water, and add a drizzle of olive oil)
  • 1 can 15 oz white beans (cannellini or navy beans), rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved (or diced regular tomato)
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh or bottled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: Fresh parsley or basil

Instructions

  • Combine Ingredients:In a large bowl, mix the drained tuna, white beans, red onion (if using), and cherry tomatoes.
  • Dress the Salad:Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
  • Season and Serve:Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Let the mixture refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Then pair with whole-grain crackers, a slice of crusty bread, over mixed greens, or my personal favorite-- scooped up with tortilla chips!
