Method
Open the canned tuna, drain the liquid, and place the tuna in a large mixing bowl.
Open the canned white beans, drain and rinse them under cold water, then add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rinsed beans drain before mixing with tuna.
Dice the avocado, finely chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the cucumber; add all vegetables to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture.
Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Salad is coated with oil and lemon without mashing avocado. Toss gently to keep the avocado pieces intact.
Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; give it one final light stir.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salad rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 15 minutes if you prefer it chilled.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: A brief rest lets lemon and olive oil flavor the beans and vegetables.
Serve the tuna, bean, and avocado salad immediately, optionally on a bed of greens or with crusty bread.
