“‘I adapted this recipe from one in my local newspaper,’ writes Kathleen Law, Post Falls, Idaho. ‘The zippy Dijon dressing adds interest to the beans, tuna, olives and onion. It makes a filling and healthy lunch that I like to take to work.”

INGREDIENTS

* 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 (15 ounce) cans white kidney or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
* 2 (6 ounce) cans light water-packed albacore tuna, drained and flaked
* 3/4 cup sliced black olives
* 1/2 cup chopped red onion

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, garlic, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper; gradually whisk in oil. In a large bowl, combine the beans, tuna, olives and onion; add dressing and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
