Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. You can also add a few pitted Kalamata olives for more Mediterranean flair.

Easy Substitutions

Chickpeas can be used instead of cannellini beans. Any canned tuna (in water or oil) will work, just adjust the added olive oil if using tuna in water. Fresh dill or cilantro can replace parsley.
