Tuna Salad
This tuna salad reminds me of my honeymoon in Italy. It is absolutely incredible! It is not the traditional heavy tuna salad that is loaded down with fatty mayonnaise. Surprisingly, mashed up white kidney beans are used in place of the mayo to bind all the ingredients together.
SERVED WITH: I toasted a piece of whole wheat bread and top it with the tuna salad. I served it open faced with a side salad. If you are looking for a brand of wholewheat or whole grain bread that is tasty and not full of sugar check out the Sha Sha bread company. This company uses sprouted grains (no yeast in these breads) and a mixture of whole grains to create a variety of delicious breads. Once you get used to eating this type of bread you will never go back to any other brand. I find all other bread way to sugary now.
COOKING TIPS: If you are making this ahead of time (such as the night before for your lunch the next day) I recommend adding the chopped up tomato the day you plan on eating it.
RATING: 10. Yummy, filling and healthy, how could you go wrong!
