Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

As is, this recipe is very bland. Adding the ingredients others suggested livens it up and makes it very tasty. I think rinsing the beans removes too much salt, so it needed at least capers and olives. I didn't like the parsley in it either. With the other ingredients added, I'd give it 4 stars.

Got it in the fridge now, ready for super! It's hot - light sustaining foods are in order!! I added black olives - they are my salt shaker!	Submitted by: NIMBA12 (7/7/12) report inappropriate
To add some contrasting rich green color, I'd dice up some zucchini since it's in season and the skin is healthy to eat--or perhaps some garden chives. Fresh basil is growing like a weed this month--and itl packs a whollop of vitamins, minerals and good health in just a couple leaves.	Submitted by: NANCYHOME247 (7/7/12) report inappropriate
Very nice and thanks for the comments. I used balsamic vinegar and seasoned salt flakes. Yummy!	Submitted by: TELOPEA1 (2/25/12) report inappropriate
I think fresh parsley, sea salt, lemon, and a little more olive oil go a long way to perk this up.	Submitted by: SENEWELL (1/25/12) report inappropriate
quick, easy and delicious - 3 things I like about meals! :) I also added the lime juice, and perhaps next time will add other tidbits just to make it interesting (and more nutricious, too!) For those concerned about sodium, rinse the beans in cold water; you can also rinse the tuna.	Submitted by: 7LITTLELOVES (11/29/10) report inappropriate
stuffing the tuna and white bean in a red pepper is a nice alternative and adding non fat miracle whip with some lemon	Submitted by: LASEVDA (10/27/10) report inappropriate
