Three-Bean Tuna Salad

If you’re looking for healthy meals, but having a hard time finding ones with flavor this one is for you. With omega-3 fats in the tuna, and fiber in the beans this dish is definitely one for your “healthy” recipe box. Feel free to use what ever beans you like. I pick one type of bean when I half the recipe. Enjoy!

1 lemon
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
