Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ⦁ 1 can 5 oz tuna in water, drained
  • ⦁ 1/2 can about 200g drained white beans (cannellini or navy)
  • ⦁ 1/4 small red onion finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk sliced thin
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh or bottled
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
  • Optional: handful of fresh parsley or a few capers

Method
 

  1. Drain the tuna well and add it to a bowl, breaking it apart with a fork.
  2. Rinse and drain the white beans thoroughly, then add them to the bowl.
  3. Add the diced red onion and sliced celery.
  4. In a small cup, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until combined.
  5. Pour the dressing over the bowl and toss everything together.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add parsley or capers if using.
  7. Taste and adjust — a bit more lemon juice goes a long way here.
  8. Eat straight from the bowl or serve over a bed of spinach if you want to add volume.

Notes

Buy your canned tuna and white beans in multi-packs. Store brands on both are nearly identical in quality to name brands and can cut your cost by 30–40%. One can of white beans gives you two servings, so refrigerate the other half for tomorrow's lunch.
