This healthy take on tuna salad is light and refreshing with no mayo but packs in lots of protein. Using Garlic Dill Mustard from Mustard and Co. delivers extra layers of flavor without adding sugar found in most mustards you'll find in the store. 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.
Ingredients:
1 can sustainable tuna
1 cup of tepary beans
red bell pepper, diced
1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
olive oil
garlic dill or dijon mustard
fresh dill, chopped fine
lemon juice
salt
cracked black pepper
sprinkle of piment d'ville
Pita bread and lettuce for serving (optional)
Directions:
Combine olive oil, mustard, dill, lemon juice and seasonings in a bowl. Mix in the tuna and red bell pepper and then gently fold in the tepary beans. Serve stuffed in pita bread or over greens as a salad.

Time and heat to transform even the dense beans from dry to creamy masterpieces. This method works just as well for all heirloom beans! Read more about my bean braising experiments...
