Directions
Healthy and Tasty White Bean and Tuna Salad, This salad takes a little to assemble But it’s nutritional content (chock full of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids) and fantastic taste are well worth it We’re finding out that beans are one of the best foods there is – adding only three cups a week can lower your cholesterol, decrease your cancer risk, and can even promote weight loss The Omega-3’s in tuna increase your good cholesterol, are heart and brain healthy I’ve adapted it from a recipe that originally ran in the New York Times , Healthy for sure and makes a light, yet hardy summer meal I would fix early and let sit so the flavors have time to blend and soak in It is a little one dimensional, so I next time I would chop, rather than slice the onions and not soak them The sage is a wonderful flavor with the tuna

This Keeps Well in the Refrigerator For Several Days. I've Served Leftovers on Slabs of French Bread, Hollowed Out in the Middle (so the Beans Don't Roll), Brushed With Olive Oil and Toasted in the Oven (toast the Bread, Then Add the Beans.) My Guests Couldn't Get Enough. |
