Italian Tuna and White Bean Salad
Salads • Italian
Description
A salad that can be spread on bread, as it's thick and hearty. The white beans are large and firm, yet very soft, making them perfect for a dish with a creamy texture. Tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and celery create a flavorful and vibrant mix. The dressing is made from yogurt and some of the beans, which add extra creaminess to the salad.
