TUNA AND WHITE BEAN SALAD

Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Halal, Kosher, Metabolic Jumpstart

This budget-friendly gem of a recipe stars pantry staples for a classic combination that’s easy to make. Both canned white beans and canned tuna are packed with protein, and tossing them with some leafy greens and bell peppers amps up the fiber content, which helps keep you feeling fuller, longer. For the tuna, we like wild caught, and how brands like Safe Catch and Wild Planet are committed to canning fish with lower mercury levels. 

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup canned white cannellini beans, rinsed
• ½ cup chopped raw spinach
• ¼ cup chopped red or yellow peppers
• 4 ounces canned wild tuna (such as Safe Catch, Wild Planet, or Vital Choice)
• ¼ teaspoon fresh or dried oregano
• Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Spoon the beans, spinach, peppers, and tuna in a small serving bowl.
2. Sprinkle the oregano and red pepper flakes if using over top. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar and serve.
