I was surprised at how tasty this was. Really easy to make with inexpensive ingredients I always have on hand. I used a jar of pimento-stuffed olives since it was what I had in the pantry. I used a spring mix that included baby spinach. I also tossed in a little bit of fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Took the recommendation and spread a little bit of the tuna and bean mixture on toasted bread and it was delicious.

This is a great mid-week standby dinner as it's super quick. The tuna mixture stores well in the fridge and it's easy to pack up some leftovers on fresh spinach in a container for work the next day.
