Black Bean Tuna Salad

"A quick and healthy tuna salad with a different twist. I put this together for lunch today, just tossing together what sounded good. The flavors came together nicely, I thought, so I am posting the recipe. It was great served in a whole-wheat tortilla."

  1. Loved it! Was very surprised how many levels of flavour there were. Easy recipe to modify . Tried it with a bit of salsa in it and that was good too. Perfect for a picnic when you are trying to be healthy! A keeper
     
  2. I never would've thought to add black beans to my tuna salad, but now I'm thinking why I hadn't. This is a great recipe and I highly recommend it.
     
  3. WHAT A GREAT SALAD! It tasted amazing and the best part, it stretched the tuna without sacrificing the flavor. I almost followed the recipe, my changes: I added about 1/3 C plain yogurt (a couple reviewers stated it was dry), diced up 2 banana peppers (instead of green chilies, my garden is going nuts and have tons peppers), and squirted some fresh lime juice (I love a little citrus with tuna). Thanks GaylaJ for a keeper! (And I don't give out these praises without warrant!)
     
  4. i loved this. made with greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise - my usual substitution, put it in a wrap...phenomenal lunch :-) i'll be making this again. thanks for posting
     
  5. Great recipe! I made a few changes, though: Used canned chicken instead of tuna, red bell peppers, white onion & parsley just because I had them on hand. I served it with whole wheat pitas but it was fantastic on it's own and even better the day after. My hubby said it would be great on corn tortillas too. Thanks for posting!
