Tuna and White Bean Salad

There is nothing like making a big batch of soup or a big salad that you can eat that day and that will keep for a few days so you can have it for lunch or dinner during the week. The Tuna and White Bean Salad is great for preparing ahead of time.

We all know that preparing a fresh lunch from scratch every evening or morning typically doesn’t work out. Our schedules get crazy and unless everything goes as planned, we can get stuck. So meal prep is important and the Tuna and White Bean Salad is one you can have in a big bowl in the fridge.
