BLACK BEAN TUNA SALAD
Tired of the same ol' salad? You know, lettuce with the same ol' ingredients? Revamp your simple, predictable lunch, by making this protein-packed, nutritious, and oh-so filling black bean tuna salad instead.

Steps:
- Drain the black beans, rinse with water, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Remove the pit from the avocado (look HERE for detailed instructions), the score the flesh in cubes and remove with a large spoon. Combine the beans and avocado with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and garnish wit scallions, lime juice, olive oil and sea salt and stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Serve cold or at room temperature. This is hearty enough all on its own but is also delicious scooped up with tortilla chips or stuffed into a pita. Store leftovers in the fridge for one day. If making in advance and storing in the fridge omit the salt (which will draw out all the water from the tomatoes and cucumbers leaving you with a soggy salad!) and season just before serving.

TUNA SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS
My mom and I made this up when I was visiting last weekend... High protein and very tasty. She ate this with pork rinds (low carber) while I had it on bread. Other seasonings and amounts can be added to your taste, I'm sure. Tuna salads tend to be flexible. Not sure of the yield so I guessed, since I didn't measure.

Pour dressing on the tuna, bean and caper mixture and allow the flavors to infuse while slicing the vegetables. Add the onion and tomatoes to tuna mixture and toss gently.

TUNA AND BEAN SALAD
This is a mainstay in my house, something you can always throw together for an easy light meal. The authentic version would call for tuna packed in olive oil, but I actually prefer water-packed tuna. The salad packs a lot of protein, not just from the beans, but also from the tuna, which is also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Steps:
- Place onion rings in a bowl, cover with cold water and squeeze them with your hands seven or eight times to release a slightly milky liquid into the water (in the process the onion becomes milder). Drain onion rings, replace in the bowl and re-cover with water. Repeat this procedure two or three times. Before using the onions, gather them tightly in your hand to squeeze out all excess moisture.
- Put the beans and onion in a serving bowl, sprinkle liberally with salt and toss.
- Drain the tuna, and add it to the bowl, breaking it into large flakes with a fork.
- Pour on enough olive oil to coat the mixture well, add a dash of vinegar and a generous amount of pepper. Toss thoroughly and check for seasoning; then serve.

Tips:
- For the best tuna salad, use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
- If you are using canned tuna packed in water, drain the tuna well before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- To add a bit of extra flavor to the salad, try using a flavored mayonnaise, such as garlic mayonnaise or lemon mayonnaise.
- If you are looking for a healthier salad, use a low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise. You can also add some Greek yogurt to the salad for an extra boost of protein.
- Be sure to taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad with black beans is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this tuna salad a try.
