Ingredients

  • 1 c. frzn cooked navy beans thawed
  • 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 x cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 c. frzn sliced green beans

  • 1 c. frzn cauliflower flowerets
  • 1 c. frzn minced onions
  • 8 x romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 can tuna in water (7 ounces) liquid removed and flaked

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the navy beans, vinegar, oil, mustard, and garlic. Toss well. Let stand at room temperature for 30 min, stirring occasionally.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add in the green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower. Cook for 30 seconds, or possibly till the beans turn bright green. Drain in a colander. Add in the onions. Rinse under cool water. Pat dry with paper towels. Add in to the bowl with the beans. Toss well. Let stand at room temperature for 5 min.
  3. Line 4 salad plates with the lettuce. Arrange the vegetable mix on the lettuce. Scatter the tuna over the lettuce.
  4. NOTES : A traditional combination in the Italian region of Tuscany, this salad makes wonderful use of frzn vegetables and canned tuna for less than 70c a serving. You can pull this quick light dish together from staples which you have on hand. If you freeze your cooked beans in 1 -c. pkgs., they'll thaw quickly in the microwave.
