Tuna and White Bean Salad

I changed this recipe around a little to make it a main course. I thought it was really good. It would have been better with an herb added like fresh basil - it called for fresh rosemary, but I didn't have any. I also used 1 cup of dried beans soaked and cooked (more than a 15 oz can), so I added more of everything except tuna and lettuce. It's really quick to make once the beans are ready or if you have canned beans.

Tuna and White Bean Salad
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1/4 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  1. Drain beans well and place half the beans into a bowl.
  2. Mash remaining beans with a fork.
  3. Combine mashed and whole beans with tuna, onion, and lettuce
  4. Dress the salad with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. You can serve this on crackers or put in a tortilla for a great wrap.
