White Bean & Tuna Arugula Salad

This salad features one of my favourite kinds of lettuce that is 
low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, C, K, iron, calcium, folate, potassium, and magnesium).
All of those micronutrients can help support your immune system, eye health, and organ function. Plus, folate is critical in preventing birth defects.
Arugula also contains glucosinolates … a type of phytochemical believed to decrease the risk of breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancers.
And you won't even taste the sharp flavour of arugula in this recipe.

(serves 4)
For the salad:

• 5 big handfuls of arugula, rinsed (about 5 oz/140 grams)
• 1 6-oz (170 grams) pouch of tuna
• 1 15 oz (425 gram) can of white/cannellini beans
• ½ small red onion, diced
• 3 Tbsp chopped green olives
• 6 cherry tomatoes cut in halves

For the dressing:

• 1 large lemon, juiced
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Prepare the salad by placing all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
Make the dressing by whisking together the juice, syrup, and zest. Continue whisking while slowly pouring a light stream of oil into the juice mixture. Keep whisking until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve & enjoy!
