Make it a Melt: Toast Classic Tuna Salad of CAFB’s White bean & Tuna Salad recipe on your choice of bread and melt a slice of cheese, and a slice of tomato (optional).
Spring Pasta Salad: Mix your favorite pasta (reserve the cooked pasta water), peas, diced red or green onion, dice hardboiled egg, dressing (combine mayonnaise, dijon or whole grain mustard, splash of olive oil, some black pepper and dash of alt). Then mix in pasta water to cover the entire salad.
Protein Toast/Cracker: Keep it simple and enjoy tuna with a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper to taste, on toasted bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps.
