Here is a wonderful recipe that is not only easy....but delicious and healthy, too!!!! I promise you, this is not your Grandma's Chicken of the Sea recipe. Start off by using Ventresca tuna. That is tuna belly filets. SUCH a huge difference! Think of it as the filet mignon of tuna. And to top it all off.....each serving is just 100 calories and 23 grams of protien!!!
Tuscan Tuna Salad
1 can Ventresca tuna
1 can cannelini beans
1/3 cup of chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup of chopped dill
1/4 cup of white balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoon of capers
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon of pimento
juice of one fresh lemon
sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
Drain the tuna and the cannelini. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss. Serve inside a ripe fresh tomato or on a bed of butter lettuce with a glass of white wine. Tastes best if served on a patio with friends!
So! Fabulous tasting. I had to subsitute two ingrediants, so I'll need to remake with what you posted. I thought I had cannelini beans and white balsamic. So I used Fava beans and fig infused white balasamic. Still wonderful. What great excuse to make this again soon! Thanks Rob.
