Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/4 bunch fresh parsley chopped, about 1/2 cup
  • 1 15 oz can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 12 oz can chunk light tuna drained
  • 2 oz feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start with the dressing by combining avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a jar. Shake or whisk until it’s all mixed. Let this sit.
  • Slice the onion and soak in ice water for a few minutes to soften its pungency. Chop cucumber into quarters, halve the tomatoes, and chop parsley.
  • Toss the cucumber, tomato, onion, and parsley in a bowl, and drizzle the vinaigrette over to coat everything evenly.
  • Gently add the beans, tuna, and crumbled feta, folding them into the salad with care to keep the tuna in large pieces.
  • Enjoy immediately, or chill for a few hours for a deeper flavor blend. Store in fridge for up to four days.

Notes

This salad's bright flavors make it a refreshing lunch option that’s protein-packed and easy to prepare ahead.
