White Bean and Tuna Salad

Recipe Added:  11/17/2011
½ cup chopped red onions
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 cans of tuna
2 cans Northern beans, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2-3 drops Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
salt and olive oil to taste
Drain the tuna and put it into a large bowl. Add the beans and gently stir to combine. Add the onions, parsley, black pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix to combine. Add Tabasco or hot sauce to taste. If the salad needs more acid, add a little more lemon juice. If the salad seems a little dry, add a little bit of olive oil. Add salt to taste.

Serve chilled. The salad develops great flavor if tightly covered and refrigerated for a couple hours, or up to a day, before serving. Serve with crackers, lightly toasted bread, lettuce cups/leaves, fresh vegetables, etc.
