Kidney bean tuna salad

Yet another recipe from allrecipes.com.  I picked it and put it in the menu, then it never looked good, but there was no way I had time to make the other option for dinner, so this won last night.  I was plenty glad it did because it turned out delicious.  I did change some things a bit, but nothing massive.   Reduced the oil, didn't add cilantro, doubled it, used limes instead of lemons because that is what I had etc.  I really was surprised at how much I liked this.  I loved the texture of the beans in the salad, and the flavors went together so well.  I was afraid it would be too much dill, that I wouldn't like the olives, etc.  Not so.   I liked everything about it.  I ended up just wrapping mine in the large piece of lettuce I dished it on and eating it as a wrap.  Yum!

Dressing Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 teaspoons red wine vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Optional ingredients for serving

• Lettuce leaves, or pitas, or bread
