High Protein Tuna & Bean Salad

High Protein Tuna and Bean Salad recipe
Celebrity chef’s Insalada Stanley Tucci looked so good and refreshing so had to try and made the balance a little more Peachie. It’s loaded with fiber and protein from whole foods to feel our best too. I’ve loved having it for lunch this week.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 - 15.5 oz can cannellini beans (whites kidney beans), drained and slightly warm
  • 2 - 5 oz cans tuna, drained
  • 10 grape tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 - 1 red onion, chopped (pickled onions work if you don’t like raw)
  • handful fresh basil, torn/chopped
  • 2 T evoo
  • Large pinch salt

STEPS

  1. Mix the first 5 ingredients in a bowl. I microwaved the beans for 1 minute in a glass bowl to heat but heating on the stovetop works too.  

  2. Drizzle with olive oil, add basil, salt, and toss. I love to serve mine over a bed of greens if I have any on hand. 

Makes 3 - 2 cup servings. This recipe can easily be doubled for a lunch meal prep for the week.

I added shredded carrots instead of grape tomatoes since I had that on hand. Feta would also have been yummy. So good! I really think this easily feeds 4-5, at least with a big bunch of greens underneath!

This is so incredibly good! I used low cal Italian dressing instead of EVOO and added feta to each bowl for some bonus protein. I could eat this every week!
