Having prepared it, you can kill a bunch of "birds with one stone". Firstly, this is the undoubted and irrefutable benefits of the ingredients. Secondly, the ease of preparation of cold snacks. Thirdly, the taste of the dish is fresh and without soreness.
Tuna is Japan's favorite fish. Its meat tastes like veal. And this three-meter sea "calf" is simply stuffed with vitamins and microelements. But red beans are not far behind. A seed of bean is like a supply pantry. It itself is a complete balanced product. Therefore, a tandem salad of tuna and beans will give the body even more benefits. After all, it is not for nothing that in Japan, for example, they say about an appetizing fish that it is food for the smartest.
Composition:
Preparation:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry if you plan to bake in the oven. It is better to bake the vegetable in foil. Then it will be more suitable for the quality of the salad. If you want to cook, then carefully follow the process to avoid overcooking. After cooling, peel and cut into small cubes and add to mashed fish. It is advisable to mix them immediately so that the taste of tuna passes over the potatoes and soaks them.
Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly, cut off the skin, if it is coarse. Also cut into small pieces and send to a salad bowl.
Peel and chop the onion as small as possible and place in a salad bowl. You can pre-marinate in a solution of 0.5 glass of a mixture of water and vinegar or lemon juice, 1 tsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. salt for 2-3 minutes. This will remove excess bitterness if the onion is very "evil" and add a touch of piquancy to the salad. Instead of the usual classic onion, you can put the red Yalta onion. It will add a delicate sweetness to the dish.
Strain the canned red beans, if desired, rinse with running drinking water, not forgetting to discard on a sieve, and then put in a salad bowl. If raw beans are used, boil them until tender after pre-soaking overnight. You can add a teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water to speed up the process.
Add chopped parsley, leaving mute to garnish.
Season with mayonnaise, stir and salt if necessary. If the use of purchased mayonnaise is contrary to the idea of healthy food, then it's easy to make it yourself from a fresh chicken egg and 0.5 cups of any oil (preferably olive or refined sunflower oil). You should also add a little salt, sugar, mustard and lemon juice to the sauce while whipping. And you can do without mayonnaise as such. To do this, simply use canned tuna along with the filling.
Salad ready. Bon Appetit!
For a festive table, you can decorate canned tuna salad with beans with small cucumbers thinly sliced along the length of a large cucumber, into which you can add parsley, beans or olives of any color if you wish. On top of the salad, you can hoist "aster" from a small tomato, which will go well to taste with the rest of the appetizer. The "lace" made of thin onion rings looks very original. The appetizer can also be laid out in layers on a flat dish or in portioned outlets. The first layer is made of potatoes, then tuna, cucumbers, onions, then properly coat with mayonnaise and lay out the beans in an even layer, sprinkling with herbs.
Guests will definitely like the fresh, harmonious taste of this dish, especially those who care about their health will like it. The fact that the appetizer is assembled like a constructor in a matter of minutes (subject to the availability of ready-made components) makes it a favorite of many. The salad will be a complete dinner for the family, you can take it in a container with you to work or to a picnic. For a change, the beans can be replaced with boiled green beans, or canned with hot peppers in a tomato for a fuller experience.

I had to visit Japan at the famous Tokyo Fish Market. There I saw for the first time tuna in such quantity and size. In appearance, this is of course the king of fish. Well, when you see the meat of cut tuna, with some sixth sense you understand that it will be very tasty.
Tuna is very healthy because it contains a large amount of trace elements and protein. It is sold mainly in oil or in its own juice. This is very convenient, especially for those who separate food into fatty and lean ones. For example, if you want a salad with the lowest percentage of fat, then you need to take tuna in the actual juice.
Since tuna meat is considered fatty, salads with it will turn out to be quite satisfying. Even if it is a small portion, it contains a lot of nutrients.
This salad will always help out when you need to cook something very quick and tasty. Beans are no less useful for the body. It contains a lot of protein, micro and macronutrients, and so on. Therefore, when combined, these products will bring us many benefits.
