Ingredients

  • 1 can tuna (I prefer olive oil packed varieties... tastes much better!)
  • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can red kidney beans mostly drained (I leave a little of the liquid in so it's not too dry)
  • 1/4 small onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Serve with pita bread

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients into a bowl. Mix gently.
  • Cut pita in half and fill each half with the mixture. 
  • The tuna and bean salad will keep in the fridge for a couple of days if you don't want to eat it all right away.

Notes

  • I used a 85g/3 oz. can of tuna. Feel free to use a larger can! This is very much a dish where you can adjust ingredients to taste.
