This healthy take on tuna salad is light and refreshing with no mayo but packs in lots of protein with the addition of ancient superfood, Tepary Beans. We love to stuff a pita with it and some lettuce but it's also great in a lettuce wrap or eaten with greens as a salad.

TEPARY BEANS, THE SUPERFOOD OF THE SONORAN DESERT

Tepary beans, native to the American Southwest and Mexico, are a remarkable indigenous ingredient cultivated for centuries by Native American tribes. Known for their rich history and nutritional value, these beans are possibly the most drought-tolerant beans on the planet, thriving in arid climates where other crops struggle. With a slightly nutty flavor and a creamy texture, tepary beans are a versatile addition to soups, stews, and salads. Their resilience and nutritional benefits make them an excellent choice for sustainable and health-conscious cooking. Incorporating tepary beans into your diet not only honors their rich cultural heritage but also supports eco-friendly agricultural practices.
