Author Notes
We all have busy schedules and not having the time to prepare satisfying meals on the fly can be challenging. That’s why I’m a fan of utilizing beans, veggies and herbs along with basic pantry products to make a nutritious, colorful and tasty meal!
This filling and fancy tuna salad will do exactly that. And surprisingly, hummus is a great alternative to mayo here. —Basil and Roses
