Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad

Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
Ingredients
- 10 oz. premium albacore tuna, drained
- 2 cans white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 cups mixed greens (we used Bibb, Endive and Red Leaf lettuce)
- 2 small cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 cup scallions, sliced finely
- 1/2 cup of basil leaves finely chopped
- 6 small heirloom tomatoes cut into quarters (we used German Red Strawberry)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup of Balsamic vinegar (we used the 25 year old bottle that we bought in Italy)
- 2 medium sized lemons
- coarse salt
- freshly ground pepper
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add albacore tuna beans, scallions, cucumber, basil, heirloom tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Mix together. I do this with my hands.
- In a small bowl, add the olive oil, Balsamic vinegar and 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. I used the salt grinder and ground about 1 teaspoon of salt plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper into the bowl. Whisk everything together. Sometimes I add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Add lettuce to mixture in large bowl and pour dressing over everything. Toss well to combine.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly refrigerator.

Thanks for the awesome lunch idea. I am totally trying this!
That’s kind of funny, we’re having Tuna pasta salad tonight for dinner. Just two cans of tuna, mayo, diced green pepper, a small can of peas, and tri-colored pasta.
Yum! This looks like a great idea for lunch or a snack. Thank you for sharing.
Looks nice and refreshing! Easy recipe to follow thanks!
I miss being able to eat tuna or any fish/shellfish for that matter. I hate food allergies! Boo.
I would totally make it with canned chicken, though! I bet it would be good!
I don’t eat tuna fish but my husband does & I’m sure he’ll love this. Thanks for sharing.
Yum! I forget to eat during the day when it’s just me home alone. This would be perfect for when I’m in a hurry or have once again forgotten all about lunch.
I have never tried tuna with white beans but I can imagine how good that must taste! I need to do this ASAP!
This looks like a quick, easy and delicious lunch! Thanks for the recipe!
mmmm that looks soo yummy! I’d love to make it one night!
I love tuna in salads or just a simple tuna sandwich. Unfortunately my husband and son don’t like the way it smells, so I hardly ever get to eat it. 🙁 I love Bumble Bee brand too!
Just inspired me to make that salad today 🙂 THX
that looks really good, i love tuna and white beans.
This looks so light and elegant. I’m definitely going to pin and try this recipe. Your food photos are excellent too.
I love the white beans and basil in this. What a terrific and healthy lunch.
You’re really creative with lunch. That’s a great skill to have!

I love salads and the easier they are to make the better. This one is also low calorie.
