    Where do you get all these receipe from? I love salads that taste fresh and at the same time healthy. I do not like salad that are drenched in sauce. Thanks for always putting up such quality receipe.

    I had never thought of mixing tuna in with beans. It looks great though. I’ll have to try it out.
