Tuna and Cannellini Bean Salad

Chelsea Mills • July 17, 2020

Great for quick lunches or a side dish.

I originally saw this Tuna and Cannellini Bean recipe in an old 2007 Good Housekeeping magazine. I adapted it slightly to my taste and it's a great dish to portion out for weekday lunches.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 large lemon
  • 2 cans white kidney beans (cannellini)
  • 1 - 4oz jar sliced pimientos
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • tsp. coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 can tuna - albacore, drained
DIRECTIONS
  1. From lemon, finely grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 3 tablespoons juice.
  2. In medium serving bowl, combine lemon peel and juice, cannellini beans, pimientos, red onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently stir in tuna.
  3. Serve with lettuce or a chopped salad.

This is a recipe I found in 2011 from Real Simple and thought sounded fantastic. I finally got around to making it and it was incredibly easy and tasted wonderful too.
