Mediterranean White Bean & Tuna Salad
Canned tuna and white beans tossed with tomatoes, red onion, and a lemon-olive oil dressing — a quick, high-protein Mediterranean salad.

This is the kind of salad that comes together from a well-stocked pantry: canned tuna and white beans tossed with juicy tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and a simple lemon-olive oil dressing. No cooking required, and it tastes better the longer it sits.
Pairing tuna with white beans means you get two sources of protein alongside a substantial amount of fiber from the beans, which is a combination that tends to keep hunger at bay for longer than tuna alone. The dressing uses olive oil in a measured amount rather than mayonnaise, keeping the saturated fat low while still tasting rich and satisfying, in keeping with a Mediterranean-style approach to eating.
Serve it over greens, in a wrap, or straight from the bowl — it holds up well in the fridge for a couple of days, making it an easy meal-prep lunch.
