Italian Tuna and Bean Salad
This salad is brilliantly simple, tasty, quick, hearty and full of nutrients. With 2 tins and 3 moves you can have a starter salad or even a meal in itself. And that's not a surprise, considering this is the Italian 'Insalata di tonno e fagioli'. I often wonder how they can make such a special, yet simple meal from a few basic ingredients. I warmly recommend this salad, we absolutely loved it, not to mention I always have tins of tuna and beans in the pantry.
You can boil the beans yourself to make this salad, or use tinned beans for emergency situations, that's up to you. Either way, this tuna and bean salad is tasty and nice.
