A pantry salad, but raise it
Here I like one thing about this recipe: it is made of materials that I almost always do in my pantry. But when the right ingredients and a zingi are thrown together with a homemade vinagrate, it becomes much more than the sum of its parts.
The base of this salad is a tuna filled with oil (it is part No Like a type of negotiable-water, believe in me), creamy canalini beans, and a handful of pasta. I used gluten-free chickpeas pasta for a little extra protein and texture, but in fact, any short-cut pasta would work.
A salad that gives you fuel
Beyond taste, this salad examines all boxes when it comes to balanced nutrition. It is packed with:
- lean protein To keep you complete with tuna and white beans and support the recovery of muscles (especially important if you fit a busy day or a workout).
- Filament From beans, arguula and chickpeas to support digestion and stabilize blood sugar.
- Healthy fats From olive oil and olives, which help your body absorb nutrients and keep the skin shining.
- Greens and herbs Like arguula and parsley which bring antioxidants, vitamins, and that fresh, paperry kick that makes the entire dish feel alive.

This is the dressing that I repeat and it is never old. It is filled with lemony, garlicy, and chopped shallots, parsley and dijon sustard. Just shake it in a jar with good olive oil, and you have found a vinaigrette that tastes honestly Anything-Grill vegies, chicken, even a dip for raw vegetables. Excessive Sunday recommends making a double batch, so you have found a mason jar of this vinigrate prepared for a whole week.

In addition to being easier, this salad Keep upI love it to dinner, then pack the remaining in a container for lunch the next day. And I am always excited about eating it for a second time. Arguula is enough to soften into the wiligrate, and the flavors only get better over time.
This is perfect for those weeks when you want to make some good options without spending your Sunday meal. Just double the recipe and keep it in the fridge for grab-end-go lunch or light dinner which does not feel like a repeat.
