Mediterranean Tuna Salad

Ingredients:
4 cups mixed fresh greens
1/4 pound fresh green beans
12 ounces tuna (the new packets are nice)
2 tablespoons capers (optional)
1 can, 15 ounces, white beans-any type
1 large tomato, chopped
12 ripe Greek olives
Snipped fresh chives
1/4 cup Italian dressing

Directions:
Cook the green beans in lightly salted water about 5 minutes or until JUST tender, drain. Rinse with very cold water and drain again. Place the greens on a platter with the beans in the center. Rinse and drain the beans, then arrange with the, tuna, and olives around those.

Top with the capers and chives. Serve with the dressing. Notes: this salad often doesn't have greens but I really like it this way. You can leave off the beans if you wish and it's good too. Good Seasons makes a great no-fat Italian dressing that you make fresh.

I use some bottled dressing, buying it when it's on sale, so I always have it on hand, but homemade dressing is great with fresh greens! Try one of these recipes with your mixed salad.
