Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
As a busy family, we are always looking for healthy, delicious and easy dinners. I also love a fresh salad pretty much any time of the year. This recipe makes dinner for four but we routinely double it to get dinner for more or you can half for dinner for one (or two) with leftovers. If you are searching for tuna and white bean salad weight watchers, tuna white bean salad bon appetit, tuscan tuna and bean salad, tuna and white bean salad, tuna cannellini bean salad, italian tuna salad with white beans, a tuna and bean salad recipe, or even tuna and bean salad recipes for health, then our tuna and cannellini bean salad recipe is the perfect recipe. 
Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
Ingredients
- 10 oz. premium albacore tuna, drained
- 2 cans white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 cups mixed greens (we used Bibb, Endive and Red Leaf lettuce)
- 2 small cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 cup scallions, sliced finely
- 1/2 cup of basil leaves finely chopped
- 6 small heirloom tomatoes cut into quarters (we used German Red Strawberry)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup of Balsamic vinegar (we used the 25 year old bottle that we bought in Italy)
- 2 medium sized lemons
- coarse salt
- freshly ground pepper
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add albacore tuna beans, scallions, cucumber, basil, heirloom tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Mix together. I do this with my hands.
- In a small bowl, add the olive oil, Balsamic vinegar and 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. I used the salt grinder and ground about 1 teaspoon of salt plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper into the bowl. Whisk everything together. Sometimes I add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Add lettuce to mixture in large bowl and pour dressing over everything. Toss well to combine.
- Serve immediately or cover tightly refrigerator.

Thanks for the awesome lunch idea. I am totally trying this!
That’s kind of funny, we’re having Tuna pasta salad tonight for dinner. Just two cans of tuna, mayo, diced green pepper, a small can of peas, and tri-colored pasta.
Yum! This looks like a great idea for lunch or a snack. Thank you for sharing.
Looks nice and refreshing! Easy recipe to follow thanks!
I miss being able to eat tuna or any fish/shellfish for that matter. I hate food allergies! Boo.
I would totally make it with canned chicken, though! I bet it would be good!
I don’t eat tuna fish but my husband does & I’m sure he’ll love this. Thanks for sharing.
Yum! I forget to eat during the day when it’s just me home alone. This would be perfect for when I’m in a hurry or have once again forgotten all about lunch.
I have never tried tuna with white beans but I can imagine how good that must taste! I need to do this ASAP!
This looks like a quick, easy and delicious lunch! Thanks for the recipe!
mmmm that looks soo yummy! I’d love to make it one night!
I love tuna in salads or just a simple tuna sandwich. Unfortunately my husband and son don’t like the way it smells, so I hardly ever get to eat it. 🙁 I love Bumble Bee brand too!
Just inspired me to make that salad today 🙂 THX
that looks really good, i love tuna and white beans.
This looks so light and elegant. I’m definitely going to pin and try this recipe. Your food photos are excellent too.
I love the white beans and basil in this. What a terrific and healthy lunch.
You’re really creative with lunch. That’s a great skill to have!
I’m always looking for easy recipes for my husbands lunch he LOVES tuna. Thanks for the recipe!
I love salads and the easier they are to make the better. This one is also low calorie.

Oops meant teaspoons. Good catch! Thanks for letting us know!!!
