Crisp Italian Tuna Salad

Crisp Italian Tuna Salad

Nutritional Highlights

Tuna is a great lean protein option that is also a good source of anti-inflammatory omega3 fatty acids.

Cannellini beans provide protein and fiber, as well as a wealth of B vitamins.

Servings: 4

Directions

Add dressing ingredients to a blender and pulse just until combined, leaving some of the beans intact.

In a large bowl, pour dressing over tuna and toss lightly to coat. Add remaining salad ingredients and toss salad together until everything is coated evenly.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with toasted pine nuts.
