Mediterranean Tuna Antipasto Salad

This salad is packed with protein and fiber.  Makes a filling lunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients:
  • 1 15-ounce can beans, chickpeas (garbanzo), black-eyed peas or kidney beans, rinsed
  • 2 5-ounce cans water-packed chunk light tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 large red pepper roasted, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 4 tsp. capers, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp. oregano
  • 8 cups mixed salad greens
Preparation:

Combine beans, tuna, bell pepper, onion, parsley, capers oregano, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl.  Season with pepper.  Combine the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil and salt in a large bowl.  Add salad greens; toss to coat.  Divide greens among plates and top each with tuna salad. (I added 1/4 cup red wine vinegar to the tuna mixture and a little extra oil - to suit your taste).
