Made with pantry ingredients, this Tuna with Cannellini Beans recipe makes a healthy lunch option! 

Tuna with Cannellini Beans

A couple of years ago, I came across this recipe in a book called The Mediterranean Prescription. My husband and I both really enjoy this dish, so it makes a regular appearance on our table. It only requires a handful of ingredients, all of which I always keep on hand.

One of the main reasons I love this Tuna with Cannellini Beans dish is that there is no cooking is involved. I love a good no-cook meal especially during the warmer months of the year. Summers in Texas are very hot and humid – not exactly the kind of weather that makes you want to turn on the stove.

I suppose this could feed three people, but my husband and I polish this off by all by ourselves. One addition that I like to add to mine is a little cajun seasoning and Tabasco sauce. So good!
