It sounds like a lot of food to some people (personally I eat the whole thing) but you could easily split it into two portions and serve with a side of toasted pita bread or something if desired.

    Ingredients
  • 1 5oz can of Tuna (I used Low Sodium Solid White Albacore
  • 1 15oz Can Westbrae Naturals Organic Mixed Salad Beans
  • 1/2 Florida Avocado cut into small cubes (you can use 1 small Haas Avocado if that is what you have, though the nutritional stuff at the bottom is calculated for the Florida variety)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 small tomato, seeded and chopped
  • Fresh juice of 1/2 of a lemon
  • Adobo seasoning to taste (shaker variety without MSG) and pepper, or simply salt and pepper to taste

Drain the can of tuna and place it in a large bowl. Rinse and drain the can of beans and place them in the bowl too. Add the avocado cubes, cilantro leaves, onion bits, tomato bits and lemon juice. Mix and taste then season with either salt and pepper to taste or with the adobo seasoning. Serve in the bowl (if you're like me and plan to eat all of it) or place atop lettuce leaves on a large plate.

    Approximate nutritional data (yours will probably be different if you use different brands or vegetable varieties)
