California brings a lot of new and fresh recipe ideas, and this is one of them! We've kicked up traditional tuna salad recipes with a variety of seasonings, two kinds of beans, and an extra special ingredient. California Tuna Salad is an absolute delight!
What You'll Need
- 1 (12 ounce) can water-packed solid white tuna, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup hot salsa
- 6 scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and chill for at least one hour or until ready to serve.
Notes
To add a little extra flair, serve this on a bed of romaine or colorful salad savoy.

Looks like this has a Mexican twist with the cumin in it. ALthough, I know cumin is used in a lot of different ethnic cuisines. I'm not sure if I would like cumin with tuna, but it made me think about cilantro and that would be great for me. Some folks hate cilantro, and I wasn't a fan at first, but it grew on me.

I am from California and this is one recipe that I have never heard of. I guess I'm a lil partial to the way my mother makes hers because this one was not for me.
