Tuna & White Bean Salad
Description
This salad starts by rinsing canned white beans and draining canned tuna to reduce excess liquid. The beans and tuna are combined with thinly sliced green onions for mild sharpness and crunch. Lemon juice and olive oil dress the salad, adding acidity and smooth richness that bind the ingredients together.
Light seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper enhances the natural flavors without overpowering the delicate tuna and creamy beans. The simplicity of the preparation preserves the integrity of each ingredient, delivering a balanced mix of textures and tastes that are refreshing and satisfying.
