Tuna n’ Cheese

May 4, 2010

Clifford and I had plans to meet my friend Shari and her dog Abby at the dog park this evening for a nice long walk. We did 5 loops around the park and we caught up while Clifford and Abby sniffed every possible leaf, tree and stone ;) Clifford should sleep like a baby tonight and hopefully I do the same.

 

The meal plan for the week had a Tuna and Bean Salad and I knew I would want a bit more with it. A bow of Annie’s Bunnies and Cheese came in handy.

 

Tuna and Bean Salad

 

Ingredients

 

2 cans of cannelini beans, rinsed and drained

2  cans of tuna, drained

1/4 cup of olives

1/2 of a small red onion

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

2 garlic cloves

Baby Spinach

Salt/Pepper

 

Directions

 

Combine beans, garlic and oil in a small pan and heat for 4 minutes

 

Mix tuna, olives, onion, and red wine vinegar. Add bean mixture once warm and top the spinach leaves.

 

 

This is a great quick and easy weeknight salad and would make a good appetizer as well. You could add to a toasted baguette or top crackers with a few spoonfuls. A bowl of mac and cheese is always a good thing :) The bunnies added a nice touch!

We had some rain this evening and I just caught a glimpse of a rainbow! So pretty. They are supposed to be good luck right? ;) Maybe I will make a wish just in case.

That looks delicious! I love bean salads, especially served over spinach or other greens. I will have to try this soon.

Mmm…this looks delicious! I love mixing white beans with various ingredients because they’re both subtle and buttery in flavor at the same time. Yummy! :D
