If you don't want a sandwich, we think this tuna recipe would also be great served on a bed of lettuce. We like this recipe because it took out the mayo and uses oil and vinegar, making for a healthier choice. Also, with the use of beans and tuna together this recipe is loaded with protein.
TUSCAN WHITE BEAN AND TUNA SANDWICH
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (15 ounce) can small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (6 ounce) can solid white albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
4 Pepperidge Farm Plain Ciabatta Rolls, split and toasted
2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
Beat the oil and vinegar in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Coarsely mash the beans and tuna in a medium bowl with a fork. Stir in onion and half of the vinegar mixture. Brush the rolls with the remaining vinegar mixture, lightly toast in oven or grill. Divide the spinach among the bottom roll halves. Top with the tuna mixture and remaining roll halves.
This recipe uses Albacore tuna which is all white meat. May we also suggest that you buy it packed in water instead of oil. Our favorite is the Albacore tuna that comes in the foil packet. As we looked at this recipe we thought, why not add a piece of cheese or a slice of tomato, use a regular hamburger bun, or wrap the sandwich in foil and heat in the oven.
We want to get you thinking about recipes that give you a night off from cooking that are healthy. Do you have a recipe you can share with all of us that gives you a night off from cooking and is healthy? These kinds of recipes help us have more time to relax, sit down together, to listen and share the events of the day with people we care about. It's not easy to find time for dinner but we know it's important for families to eat together as often as possible. Here's to a healthy dinner made easy!
