Beans are cheap, low fat and full of fiber. They are also versatile since they come in a number of different varieties. Using canned beans makes them easy to add to recipes. This weeks salad will be my lunch all week. I have been eating soup or salad for lunch to reduce the bread I eat. This recipe goes together really quick too and serving over salad gets some more veggies in my diet. If you like you can serve it on toast.
2 ( 5 ounce ) cans tuna drained
1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern Beans drained and rinsed
½ cup miracle whip
½ cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
¼ cup sunflower seeds
1 carton grape tomatoes, cut in half
Combine tuna, beans, onion and miracle whip. Mix
gently. Add herbs, sunflower seeds and
tomatoes. Serve over a bed of baby kale,
baby spinach or a bed of mixed spring greens mixed with kale.
Serves 4-6
