Eating fresh

I love casseroles. I do. It's comfort food to me. However, it feels good to eat fresh. We just ate this adapted version of friend Mary's recipe:

White Bean Tuna Salad Pitas

1/4 c. cider vinegar

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 t. dijon mustard

1 t. sugar

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

2 T. olive oil

2 cans (15 oz. each) white beans, rinsed and drained

2 cans (6 oz. each) light water-packed tuna, drained

1 c. celery, chopped

1/2 c. chopped red onion

1 cucumber, sliced

pesto

whole wheat pitas

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; gradually whisk in oil. In a large bowl, combine the beans, tuna, celery, and onion; add dressing and toss gently. Refrigerate until serving. Cut pita in half, spread pesto, and fill with tuna mixture. Add cucumber. Can also garnish with sprouts, tomato, hummus, cheese, etc.
