Simple and Light White Bean Tuna Salad

This white bean tuna salads is one of my favorites when I want something light and flavorful.

I’ve been making a serious effort to make better food choices but that doesn’t mean I want to give up the flavors I love. This salad is packed with flavor and it tastes even better the next day so it’s a fantastic option when you want to make a big batch of something and eat it all week long.

I take this salad up a notch, in flavor and protein content by adding Bumble Bee^® Solid White Albacore Tuna.

Bumble Bee^® offers responsibly wild caught Albacore that is delicious, versatile, high in protein and absolutely perfect as the main ingredient in any meal. *see their website for full nutritional facts.

I love the firm texture and light taste of the Bumble Bee^® Solid White Albacore Tuna.

It is such an easy way to add some extra lean protein to a meal and it is shelf stable so you can make sure you always have it on hand when you need to throw together a quick meal.

Do you think that Only Bumble Bee Albacore Will Do™? I love the big meaty pieces I get with albacore and for something like this salad, it definitely holds up a lot better. Get more info and find other great recipes here.

For this salad, you really only need a few ingredients. Most of them are even shelf-stable so it’s the perfect recipe to have up your sleeves when you haven’t had a chance to go to the store.

Ingredients

• 2 cans Bumble Bee^® Solid White Albacore Tuna
• 1/2 jalapeño pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 large handful parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped

For the dressing:

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil (or a combo of olive oil and some of the oil from your sun dried tomatoes)
• 1 tsp. dijon mustard
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and mix well.

Pour the dressing over the rinsed and drained beans and let them sit for 20 minutes. The beans will soak up a lot of the vinaigrette.

After some of the dressing has soaked up, add in your jalapeño pepper, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, and Bumble Bee^® Solid White Albacore Tuna.

Stir gently. I like to leave the tuna in big pieces so this salad has a meatier feel.

Just before serving, stir in the parsley.

Enjoy right away or chill and eat the next day. This salad only gets better with time.
