Tuna and White Bean Salad

5 oz canned Tuna, drained and flaked
1 garlic clove, minced or 1 tsp of garlic paste
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red bell pepper, cubed
1/4 cup chopper red onion
fresh basil, chopped to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Lemon zest
 Mince garlic and mash to a paste with the back of a spoon. Mix garlic paste with lemon juice, salt and pepper and slowly whisk in olive oil. Toss red pepper, onion, and beans together. Break apart tuna and mix into bean mixture. Add dressing and toss well. Add basil just before serving.
I put this on top of lettuce but would also be great in a wrap or a pita. I used what I had vegetable wise when I first made it using tomatoes and green onions in place of red pepper and red onion it was still tasty.
