Tuna & Bean Salad

[Twiggie]

I made this earlier as I'm cutting back on milk and replacing it with a high protein, low carb meal. It's suitable for both pre-op and post-op peeps, and is delicious!

Tuna & Bean salad
1 tin tuna
1/2 tin borlotti beans (could use other beans)
1/2 tin beansprouts (or 100g fresh)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
pepper

Mix it all together and enjoy!

I'd say it would easily make 4 portions for pre-op meal and probably 8 or more portions post-op. I've just eaten 1/4 of it and feel stuffed!

I really want to try these beans out, but can't find a supermarket that stocks them. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy some?

I've just checked on mysupermarket.co.uk and Tesco & Asda sell them as part of a ready made salad, but Waitrose also sell them on their own in bags, ready shelled.

Perhaps we should all email the various customer services and demand they stock 'em for us! :8855:

I've googled them and M & S also stock them as part of a ready made salad.
