Note
For a heartier meal, you can add diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or red onion.
If you prefer a warmer salad, lightly toast the beans in a pan before adding them to the mix.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The greens may wilt slightly, so it's best consumed fresh.
You can substitute the tuna with canned salmon or sardines for a different flavor profile.
