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 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

    Steps

    Done

    1. Place the Onion in a Bowl and Add 2 Teaspoons of the Vinegar and Cold Water to Cover. Let Sit For 5 Minutes. Drain and Rinse With Cold Water, Then Dry on Paper Towels. This Rids the Onion of It's Sharpness. If You Like the Sharpness- Omit This Step!

    2. in a Medium Bowl or Salad Bowl, Combine the Tuna, Beans, Onions, Sage, and Parsley.

    Done

    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.
