MMMmonday - White Bean and Tuna Salad

Wayne is changing his diet to eat more fish, so I am trying to find some great lunch options for us and this is one of my new faves because it is quick and easy, beautiful and oh so tasty!

White Bean and Tuna Salad

1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cans (15 oz, 420 g each) cannellini or other white beans such as white kidney, Great Northern, or navy beans, rinsed and drained
2 scallions (spring onions, green and white parts, chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 7-ounce (195 g) can tuna

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and pour over the drained beans. Add the scallions and parsley and toss gently. Break the tuna into chunks and arrange on top of the beans. Serve at room temperature. Serves 4 to 6.

I'm trying to eat healthier by only eating meat a few times a week and eating more fish. We love tuna sandwiches and this sounds yummy. I'm adding it to my grocery list.
