Yield 2 servings
This is my favorite “I have no leftovers for my work lunch, what am I going to do?” meal, because I always have tuna and beans in the pantry, and capers and olives in the fridge. It’s quick, convenient and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1-2 tablespoons capers OR quartered Kalamata olives
- Olive oil
- White wine vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Salad greens
- Optional: walnuts
- Optional: jarred roasted red peppers
