Ingredients
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
-
2 (5 ounce) cans solid white tuna (water pack), drained and broken into chunks
-
⅓ cup chopped red onion (1 small)
-
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon, honey Dijon-style mustard, divided
-
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, divided
-
1 ⅛ teaspoons dried dill, divided
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
-
6 cups fresh baby spinach
-
2 cups cubed, cooked and chilled beets (see Tip)
-
1 sprig Chopped fresh dill and/or ground pepper
Directions
-
Combine beans, tuna and onion in a large bowl. For dressing, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the mustard, the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the dried dill and the lemon-pepper seasoning in a small bowl. Add dressing to tuna mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill 2 to 4 hours.
-
Prepare vinaigrette: Combine oil, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon mustard, salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon dried dill in a small screw-top jar. Cover and shake well. Combine spinach and beets in a large bowl. Before serving, pour vinaigrette over spinach mixture; toss gently to coat.
-
To serve, line four serving plates with spinach mixture. Top with tuna mixture. If desired, sprinkle with fresh dill and/or pepper.
Tips
Tip: To cook fresh beets, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash and trim beets; pat dry. Wrap beets in foil and bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Cool slightly. Unwrap and slip off skins under cool running water. Place beets in a covered container and chill until needed. Or use packaged refrigerated cooked whole baby beets.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
