Tuna and White Bean Salad



Well....now that you have made the Garlic Prawn Pizza and you have some left over rocket, why not make this healthy and amazingly simple salad for lunch?  Made from pantry staples it is a healthy and satisfying alternative to a boring old sandwich and would really impress your work mates.......just be sure to tell them where you got the recipe, OK?!!

Serves 2

2 large handfuls of baby rocket
1 x 400gm tin of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 x 95gm tins of tuna in springwater or brine, drained
1 punnet of baby grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup of pitted kalamata olives
50gm of goats cheese
1/2 a red onion, sliced
2 tbs of chopped fresh continental parsley
2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs of white balsamic vinegar (normal balsamic is fine too)
Sea salt and cracked pepper

Combine the the rocket, tuna, beans, tomatoes, onion and olives in a large bowl.  Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and toss really well to combine.  Divide among two serving bowls (or tupperware containers) and crumble the goats cheese on top and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.  Too easy!!
