- 2 tbs. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Salad
- 6 cups tightly packed arugula
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 15-oz. can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 5-oz. can sustainably caught tuna, drained and flaked
- 8 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
STEP 1
In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients and whisk thoroughly until blended.
STEP 2
Put the arugula, red onion, white beans, tuna, and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl and toss gently to combine.
