Tuna and White Bean Salad

This makes a great main dish in the summer, or can be used as a side dish any time. It makes a great alternative to pasta salads when you're trying to be carb-conscious, and is very high in fiber. Servings are based on use as a side dish, and cooking time is refrigeration time.
