Almost any bean will work in this salad and canned are fine. My favorites are our classic white "coco" provencal beans, however cannellini, garbanzos and black beans work very well too.
1can(5 ounces) water packed, low-sodium tuna, drained
½cup cooked white beans
1tablespoonprepared basil pesto
2teaspoonsHerbs de Provence
⅓cupnonfat plain Greek yogurt
Salt and pepper
2cups(½ medium head) butter lettuce
2tablespoonschopped fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
Place first five ingredients (tuna, beans, pesto, herbs and yogurt) in a medium mixing bowl. Gently and thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the lettuce between 2 plates, top each plate with ½ the tuna salad. Top salads with chopped fresh basil, if using.
Recipe Notes
I use Albacore tuna when using canned fish. I prefer the firmer texture of it, however any canned low-sodium tuna packed in water is fine.This salad works also extremely well with canned salmon, although the calories may vary slightly.Prepared regular pesto is fine, however if you have a skinny pesto recipe on hand, you'll be ahead of the game on points.Serving size: generous ¾ cup tuna salad + greensClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*SmartPoints (Green plan)2*SmartPoints (Blue plan)2*SmartPoints (Purple plan)6*PointsPlus (Old plan)
