Three Bean and Tuna Salad

Hurray - now I have a photo. Yes, it was another pot luck but I got the photo BEFORE the meeting.

INGREDIENTS
1    can (15 ounces) Cannellini beans
1    can (15 ounces) red kidney beans
1    can (15 ounces) black beans
1    red bell pepper
1    yellow or orange bell pepper
½   cup chopped red or green onion
2    cans (6 ounce) tuna, drained
2    tablespoons dried parsley leaves
1    tablespoon dried basil
3    tablespoons aged balsamic or sherry vinegar
2    tablespoons olive oil
1    tablespoon low fat yogurt

METHOD
Drain and rinse all three beans and place into a medium sized salad bowl. Remove the stems, seeds and white inner parts of the bell peppers and dice to ¼ inch. Add to the beans in the salad bowl. Add the onions, tuna, parsley and basil to the salad and mix well.

In a small bowl, add the vinegar, olive oil and yogurt. Using a whisk, blend them together and then pour over the salad, mixing in very well. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for later service. To serve, place a large spoonful onto a radicchio or lettuce leaf on each serving plate. This recipe will serve 8 to 12 people and is wonderful for pot luck dinners.
