When I’m in a rush and don’t want a lot of clean up at home, I turn to my favorite White Bean and Tuna Salad for lunch or dinner.
It’s absolutely magical, if you love like tuna of course as I do.
What’s great about this recipe is the versatility. It’s great to eat as a salad, but you can also use it as a base for:
- sandwich
- tuna melt
- wrap
- hoagie (Schar has an awesome gluten free baguette!)
