Ingredients

1 pound mini potatoes (we used the grape-sized ones)

8 ounces green beans, trimmed

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

2 (5-ounce) cans tuna (preferably light tuna packed in oil)

¼ cup pitted, chopped olives

1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil potatoes until fork-tender. Let cool, then cut them in half (if using mini potatoes), or bite-sized pieces if using larger potatoes.
  2. While the potatoes are boiling, steam the green beans, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, tuna, olives, and white beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Divide into 5 servings, and serve chilled.
