Here is a tasty way to transform an ordinary canned tuna into a delicious meal. This Tuna White Bean Salad is great for potlucks, perfect for a light lunch, and even an appetizer.It tastes wonderful with some gluten-free scoops.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, tuna, red onion, and scallions.
Dressing
In a small bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
Add the dressing and cut fresh parsley to the salad, and toss gently until well combined. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Refrigerate for 1 hour or serve immediately.
NOTES
Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled. It has a much brighter and fresher flavor and makes all the difference!
Canned beans work perfectly fine here, just be sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly before using.
This salad tastes even better when you let it sit for a little bit or overnight as it allows all the flavors to develop.
