Serves 4. Preparation Time 15 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1⁄4 tsp. salt
• 1⁄8 tsp. freshly cracked pepper
• 1 can (6-oz or 170 g) tuna, packed in water, drained
• 2 cups (500 ml) cooked white pea beans
• 1⁄4 cup (50 ml) finely diced red onion
• 1 cup (250 ml) cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 2 tbsp. (25 ml) finely chopped parsley
• 4-6 cups (1.5 L) washed salad greens

Directions: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, beans, onion, tomatoes and parsley. Pour in dressing and toss lightly. Serve on a bed of salad greens.

Options:

• For more “lemon” flavour, add 1 tsp. of lemon zest (zest is the bright outer skin of the lemon).
• Add 2 tbsp. rinsed capers.
• To save time, use tuna packed in olive oil and use the olive oil from the can to make the dressing.
• Try using 1 (19 oz/540 ml) can of white kidney beans, drained.
