Mediterranean White Bean and Tuna Salad image

This is so easy to make and usually I have all the ingredients at home. It is healthier and lighter than the heavy mayonnaise tuna salads and more convenient to take along to picknicks and barbeques. It tastes great served on lettuce or on bread. You can use any fresh herbs you want with this. I like it best with either sage or rosemary and thyme. One more tip: Use solid tuna, not the flaky kind, to get the best results.
