Ingredients

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 (5-ounce) cans albacore tuna drained
  • 2 avocados diced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the white beans, tuna, and avocado. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together carefully to avoid mashing the avocado too much.
  • Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Notes

My Top Tip: Drain and rinse your white beans. I like to add my beans to a fine mesh strainer or colander and rinse them until any bubbles disappear.
Storage: This tuna salad is best eaten right away! You can chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes first, but any longer than that and the avocado will start to brown. The salad will keep for about 2 days in the fridge. Just know that the avocado won't look its best.
