Tuscan White Bean and Tuna Salad

Ingredients

• 3 1/3 cups cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (two 15-ounce cans)

• 1 Tbs olive oil

• 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 cup olives, chopped

• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (or fresh parsley)

• 1 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

• 1 can (340g) tuna in water, canned, (12 ounces), drained and flaked

• Salt and pepper, to taste

A quick meal for those hot summer days when it’s too warm to cook. Kalamata olives are great in this recipe.
