Mediterranean Tuna and White Bean Salad
Tossed canned tuna and creamy white beans with crisp cucumbers and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz canned tuna in water
0.5 cup cannellini beans
1 cup cucumber
0.25 cup red onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5 whole kalamata olives
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium mixing bowl, flaking it gently with a fork to maintain some texture.
Rinse and drain the cannellini beans in a fine-mesh sieve, then add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Add the chopped cucumber, finely diced red onion, and halved kalamata olives to the bowl.
In a small glass jar or separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the tuna mixture and toss gently with a large spoon to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated without over-mashing the beans.
Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the Mediterranean flavors to deepen.
