Tuna and White Bean Salad Recipe | Healthy Diet Foods
This is a bright and nutritionally balanced salad that is really quick to prepare and, although it is great served straight away, it gets better over time so is perfect to be made in the morning and eaten at lunchtime. The salt releases all of the juice from the tomatoes and mixes superbly with the olive oil from the tin of tuna making a seriously good dressing with minimal effort!
