';Tuscan'; Tuna Salad, trite name, but it comes from the use of fresh herbs and white beans in the salad. This one is excellent for health-minded folks, and for those with high cholesterol.





Tuscan Tuna Salad


1 6 oz can tuna drained (imported Italian ';tonno rossa'; highly recommended)


1 tbs. olive oil


2 tbs balsamic vinegar (good stuff only, Modena)


1 15 oz. can Canneloni Beans, drained and rinsed


2 tbs fresh chopped herbs, either Italian flat-leaf parsley or basil


fresh cracked pepper to taste


Spring mix greens





Mix all. Adjust vinegar and pepper to taste. I love balsamic vinegar and a bit of bite to my dishes so I add more. Serve over greens.





The key with this recipe is that it does not have bad cholesterol items like eggs and mayo. It also contains several of the most recommended foods for people with high cholesterol: fish, legumes, dark leafy greens, and olive oil. I created it as a quick meal option when my husband wanted to drop some weight. It's a nice, light weeknight dinner that is quicker to make than a trip to the fast food drive-thru.

7. Place in fridge for flavors to blend (or eat as is if you can't wait).


8. You might want to add additional mayonaise after salad has been refrigerated, because some of the mayonaise will';soak'; into pasta.


9. *This is the amount of vinegar the original recipe calls for -- I have been cutting down to one tablespoon.
I have always made alot of tuna salad and I think the secret is using mayo. It makes for a tasty tuna salad.

Is it fresh cooked tuna or tinned and is the salad to include beans, bread etc or are you not fussy please add to your question as I'm nervous about passing on a recipe!
Simple and the best: Combine, tuna, finely chopped celery and onions, grated carrots, with mayonaise, amounts to your liking. When I'm watching calories, I add more celery %26amp; carrots than normal, but once you chill this for about an hour, it's delicious!


Sometimes I take a slice of bread and crumble it into the salad to bind it when not making the salad for sandwich purposes, but don't serve this to diabetics. It throws their numbers off!
