TUNA AND BEAN SALAD
This is a mainstay in my house, something you can always throw together for an easy light meal. The authentic version would call for tuna packed in olive oil, but I actually prefer water-packed tuna. The salad packs a lot of protein, not just from the beans, but also from the tuna, which is also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

- You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped onion, bell pepper, or avocado. Just be sure to adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
