Easy Tuna Salad

This Tuna Salad is the easiest, 10-minute, high-protein meal. It’s perfect for when you’re short on time but craving something nourishing.

The salad features a hearty mix of cannellini beans, crisp cucumber, tomato, and red onion, all topped with protein-rich tuna. I use the oil from the canned tuna for the dressing, seasoned with lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a simple yet flavourful finish.
