Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can we use other beans with this recipe? We prefer white beans, but you can adapt and use your favorite legumes with this recipe. We recommend only 2 cups.
  2. May we use canned tuna fish? Absolutely yes! Always drain the liquid or oil from the canned tuna fish before mixing it into the bean mixture. Then you can add in a splash of extra-virgin olive oil.
  3. Can we add in mayonnaise? Why not? If you prefer to have your tuna and bean salad creamy, go ahead and start with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of mayo, and go from there. Add as much or as little to your taste.
  4. Can we use other tomatoes, like tomatoes on the vine? You can use any ripe tomato you prefer. It is best to select the small ones and depending on the size, you may need to increase the tuna-white bean filling.

  1. I will pin this for when my tomato crop starts coming in later this summer! I love a fresh, garden tomato with tuna and the white beans sound wonderful too.
