Ingredients

What's better than tuna with mayo? This recipe: no contest. Tuna's salty flavor is genius with beans, veggies, and capers. With ingredients this flavorful, any dressing more than a little lemon juice and olive oil would be overkill.Tip: If you want to make this ahead, keep the greens separate until right before you serve.
