This tuna salad comes with extra protein thanks to white cannellini beans. And while it's tasty enough to eat on its own, this tuna salad is especially good when scooped up with crusty bread.

Very good. I added olives which made it very close to a dish I had in Florence.

Lovely summer meal - delicious. I used spinach, did not have parsley and only added one can of tuna. I am adding this to my favorite summer recipes, I love that it is high protein, has a good amount of fiber and is fast and easy. I had this bookmarked for awhile because I was not sure how it would taste, glad I finally made it.

This is a perfect summer lunch with friends: easy to prepare, healthy and quite tasty. The fresh parsley and lemon juice absolutely make this dish.

My husband and I loved this recipe and will make it again. It was healthy and light but with lots of flavor.
