Categories     Salad

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup finely chopped dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes or oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes*
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained, divided)
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about ¾ teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
12 ounces (dry weight) canned wild caught solid pack tuna in water
3 stalks celery (finely diced)
3 tablespoons capers (rinsed and drained)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
English muffins or whole grain bread (optional for serving)
Greens (such as spinach, arugula, or chopped romaine (optional for serving))

Steps:

  • Place the dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside to reconstitute while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • To a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add 3/4 cup of the beans and the Greek yogurt. Blend until the beans start to become broken up and combined with the yogurt, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice as needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, flake the tuna, leaving it fairly chunky. Add the celery, capers, parsley, and remaining beans.
  • Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and pat dry. Add them to the bowl with the tuna mixture.
  • Pour the Greek yogurt dressing over the top. With a spatula, gently stir to combine. Switch to a fork, continuing to stir and using the fork to break apart any clumps of ingredients that are sticking together, until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Serve however you like: open face on toasted English muffins or toasted bread topped with arugula (our favorite), on whole grain bread with arugula or spinach as a sandwich, over a bed of greens, or however you like.

ITALIAN TOSSED SALAD



Italian Tossed Salad image

From Bellville, Ohio, Gayle Parker sent a snappy recipe for Italian Tossed Salad that pressed-for-time cooks can squeeze into any menu. Simple and colorful, it complements a casual lunch or a fancy holiday dinner, she writes. It's a little different from plain old iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Canned kidney beans add protein and texture, and the pepperoni and other fixings give it a fresh zesty taste. I belong to a camping club that meets monthly, says Gayle. This salad is easy to prepare in our compact motor home kitchen, so I often take it to our potluck suppers.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH TUNA



Chopped Salad with Tuna image

The secret to making a great chopped salad is to cut the ingredients into chunks that are all the same size and to include contrasting textures. Instead of using tuna, try leftover cooked chicken.
