Kidney Bean Tuna Salad

I found this recipe to go with our diet.  It's easy to put together after a busy day, which is a lovely bonus.  Also, the red onion flavor isn't overpowering (good for me) and the olives aren't overly noticeable either (good for the boyfriend).  I skipped the cilantro and used tuna in oil.

Ingredients
  • 1 can kidney beans Rinsed and drained
  • 1 can tuna 6 oz
  • 1/3 cup chopped celery
  • 3 tablespoons sliced ripe olves
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro minced
DRESSING
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Directions
Ina a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, lemon juice,garlic, dill, salt and pepper. Pour over tuna mixture and toss lightly. Serve on a bed of lettuce if desired.
