Week 63: Tuna & White Bean Salad


This was SO easy to make, as well as being a convenient, refreshing, and yummy source of protein. Abby and I noticed that this was also our first "seafood" dish that we've made. Neither of us are big seafood fans, but I do enjoy canned tuna! I ate this as leftovers two other times the week we made it, and it was still delicious.
