A delicious triumph of resourcefulness, that’s the best way to describe this simple tuna couscous salad recipe.

Or let’s call it a win-win-win recipe: protein-packed, budget-friendly, and quick!

Why this tuna couscous salad recipe works

Humble canned tuna takes on a vague Italian twist. Add kidney beans, fresh chopped veggies and herbs, plus a few tangy capers for good measure. And in place of mayo, fresh lemon juice and quality extra virgin olive oil.

To transform the tuna into a satisfying–hearty, even–weeknight fix, I use one of my go-to ready products: all-natural heat and serve couscous pilaf from Wild Garden. This traditional Mediterranean pilaf featuring pearled couscous and chickpeas in a zesty tomato sauce, makes the perfect bed for my tuna!

If you like, add some soft boiled eggs for even more protein!
