White Bean and Tuna salad served with shaved zucchini

Summer time is for enjoying and while I love to cook, I also like a break from the stove/oven. That's when I bring in no cook recipes like this White Bean Salad. I love it because it's got protein (the beans), more protein (the tuna), is loaded with fiber (the beans and the zucchini) and I'm getting healthy fats (olive oil). This recipe tastes good and literally makes me feel good too.
