Tuna + Bean Salad
Home » COOK » Recipes » Recipes By Course » Salads »There is something about salad that I just love. The freshness, the colours, the taste – all good! Yesterday, there was some salad from the previous nights dinner, so I used that to make a very delish tuna bean salad for my lunch. Since I’m following a new weight loss plan, there are no measurements, and make as little or as much as you require. I did add some dressing to my salad – olive oil is 6 [Slimming World] syns, but I am allowed 15 syns per day, so I’m right on track.
A quick and easy salad
Tuna + Bean Salad
A quick and easy salad
Ingredients
- lettuce shredded
- cucumber sliced
- tomato chopped
- red onion sliced
- radish sliced
- carrots grated
- tinned sweetcorn drained
- tinned beans of your choice – I used pinto – drained and rinsed
- tinned tuna in brine drained
- 1 tbsp olive oil [6 Slimming World Syns]
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Make the salad dressing by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, oregano and garlic salt. In salad dressings, oregano is my dried herb of choice because it is often used in Greek Cypriot salad dressing.
- Place all the salad vegetables into a bowl and toss together.
- Add the sweetcorn, beans and tuna and mix together until evenly distributed.
- Pour over the salad dressing and serve.

This sounds wonderful! I adore salads and always make them myself as shop bought ones are always so boring and just contain the basics like lettuce, cucumber and tomato. One of my favourites is tuna because I find I don’t always need to add a dressing. I am going to try this one as adding the beans will add fibre to my diet (which I need just now lol!)

Not to mention expensive! It’s so easy to put together a salad if you have some basics in the store cupboard. Most of the salads I make up at home get beans thrown in – that way they make a substantial lunch :D
