REC. & REV. Three Bean Tuna Salad

I made the salad this a.m. to let the flavors meld.I stirred it before eating then tasted,discovered that it had absorbed all of the oil so I added 2 more Tbsp.Also decided it needed more salt so I added about 3/4 tsp.Served it in iceberg lettuce cups.We both thought it was excellent,a definite keeper.None of the ingredients over rode the others,a very good blend of flavors.

1 lemon

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

3 ribs celery,thinly sliced ( I used  2 )

2 green onions,thinly sliced

3 cans of beans ( I used red kidney,great northern and pinto)rinsed and drained

2 cans ( 6 oz.) tuna in water drained and flaked

lettuce leaves

From the lemon,grate 1 tsp. peel.Juice the lemon.In a large bowl,stir together lemon peel,juice,oil,celery,onions,1 tsp. salt( after my addition) and 1/8 ts. pepper.Stir in beans till coated then gently stir in tuna.Serve in lettuce cups. Depo!!!
