Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad

http://bevcooks.com/2012/06/tuscan-tuna-and-white-bean-salad/

What it took for 2:
* 1 can albacore tuna (drained)
* 1 (14.5 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
* 2-4 cups mixed greens (I used spinach and romaine) (or prepare without)
* 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
* 1/2 cup dehydrated tomatoes
* 1/4 cup (or more if you love olives) kalamata olives, halved
* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 lemon (2 Tbs. lemon juice and 1 Tbs. zest) or red wine vinegar
* coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
In a large bowl, combine the tuna, beans, onions, celery, olives, tomatoes and lemon zest.
In another smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Throw a pinch of salt and pepper in there.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss to combine.
Serve over a bed of mixed greens, with extra lemon on the side. That’s it! You’re gonna luuuv it.
