Tuna White Bean Salad

I love tuna. This is not a surprise to anyone who knows me. Tuna is my lifeblood as far as food is concerned. As a child, I used to get made fun of for eating tuna tortillas for lunch, but I didn't care-I've always loved the stuff. I even eat it before major performances because it settles my stomach, which I recognize is weird. But I'm like a cat-I hear a can of tuna open and I come running! Seriously, the stuff is the nectar of the fish gods, as far as I'm concerned. Well, you know...once it's put into a can of water, that is (fresh is of course delicious too).

Anyways, enough about how much I love tuna. When this recipe popped up on Budget Bytes this week, I knew I had to have it. Sooner than immediately. Other things I love: onions. Especially tuna and onions together, so that way everyone is repulsed by my breath of course. If you work in a tightknit office, I may not suggest this lunch. However, for me, I look forward to eating it every day this week AND will get to rejoice on a daily basis how cheap it was.

Tuna White Bean Salad (adapted from Budget Bytes; serves 3)
1 15 oz. can white beans
1 5 oz. can chunk light tuna in water
2 whole green onions
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste

Pour the can of beans into a colander or strainer and rinse with cool water. Allow excess water to drain off. Drain the can of tuna, giving tuna juice to your kitty cats. Put beans and tuna in a bowl. Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl as well. Next add the olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkling with salt and fresh ground pepper. Adjust to your liking!
