One of the best things about this salad, apart from how fresh and tasty
it is, is that it keeps well for a few days. I also love the lunch
without bread as an option. Plus, I don't have to defrost or cook
anything! That means if I have failed to plan ahead then I still have a
good healthy lunch or supper option.
***
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 400g (14oz) can butter beans
- 185g (6oz) tuna in oil, drained
- 1/4 small red onion, finely diced
- handful mixed salad leaves
Combine lemon juice & olive oil in a salad bowl and season.
Drain beans and rinse well under the hot water tap. Add beans to the dressing. Flake tuna into large chunks on top of the beans. Add onion and leaves and toss.
A substitution for the butter beans? Cannellini beans or borlotti beans - or even chickpeas. Substitute chicken for tuna! And if you are eating really clean, then skip the cans and cook your own tuna or chicken and cook dried beans yourself.
