Author: ©MakeMineLemon
Serves: 4
- Lettuce – a handful for each serving
- 2 cups white beans (or 1-15 oz. can rinsed well)
- 1 jar of tuna
- 4 tablespoon red onion – diced small
- 8-10 grape tomatoes – halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon parsley - chopped
- 4 tablespoon vinegar of your choice
- 2 tablespoon oil – (you may not need any extra oil)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Wash, dry well and shred your lettuce; set aside; save a few leaves for bedding.
- Drain the beans. If you didn’t cook your own beans (I’m not judging) rinse and drain thoroughly.
- Fine dice the red onion.
- Add onions in a bowl with the vinegar. (This will keep the onions from oxidizing or becoming too strong.)
- Add the beans – toss well.
- Add the parsley or your herb of choice.
- Add the tuna with the oil.
- Stir and adjust the oil or vinegar. You may need more oil or not – adjust to your taste.
- Cut the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- In a serving size bowl add a bed of lettuce and top with tuna and bean salad.
- Top with the tomatoes.
- Serve with some good bread - A baguette or some toast soldiers.
- Enjoy your lunch.
