Instructions: Mix the tuna, soybeans, broccoli, scallions, red pepper, basil, and parsley together in a serving bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the oil and vinegar. Spear the garlic clove on a fork and use the fork to whisk the oil and vinegar together until they begin to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk again with the garlic clove and pour over the salad, tossing well to combine.

Serving Ideas : Serve over romaine lettuce with additional dressing on the side.

Description: "On a hot night-or just a busy one when theres no time to cook-this salad can be dinner in moments. I used to make a salad like this one with garbanzo beans, which you could also use, but your carb debt would go way up. Youll find these black soybeans are a tasty alternative."

NOTES : If canned favas arent available use light red kidney beans.

You can replace 1 can of mandarin oranges with a can of pineapple tidbits in juice. The basil could then be replaced with mint. And the dressing could be a fruit juice based recipe (grapefruit or lime - maybe some cumin?). I used Starkist Solid White Albacore Tuna in spring water. I also tried capers - not a good addition.

Heres my adaptation of the recipe I posted a couple days ago. We really like this. You could make it with just one can of tuna but its better with two. Especially if you are going to serve it over romaine.
