I have a recipe that has become a new favorite in my house – this easy Tuna and White Bean Salad that comes together in a matter of minutes with just a few ingredients from the pantry and veggie crisper.

I have been on the go for the past few months. Between various obligations and traveling between Philly and Connecticut, sometimes I feel like I get burnt out making the same dinners or something that has a ton of steps. For dinner, I wanted something light, fresh and wouldn’t take forever to make. I had seen this Tuna and White Bean Salad in Joanne Weir’s cookbook, Cooking Confidence, and had it bookmarked to play with. This salad, much like my Middle Eastern Chickpea Salad, was just what I was looking for and was ready in about 15 minutes….

I have a delicious side dish to share with you today that would be perfect for your next cookout – a sweet and tangy Pineapple Slaw.

I have been on a pineapple kick lately. I don’t know what the reasoning is behind it but I have been adding pineapple to a few of my favorite recipes – like my Huli Huli Chicken Burgers, a sweet pineapple relish that I use on Kalua Pork Sliders or Kalua Pork Nachos and in some of my favorite Pineapple Cookies. Pineapple in coleslaw – well, you have to trust me on this one….

A couple months ago, some of my dear friends from the Dance Party days got together for cocktails, conversation, and memories with a bit of dancin’ of course. As my buddy Heather was throwing the soiree at her gorgeous studio in Manayunk, she asked that we all bring some of our favorite dishes. You know I had to whip up something tasty so not only did I bring my favorite Pulled Pork with Caramelized Onions, but I brought a fresh veggie salad I have been thinking about making forever – a Middle Eastern Chickpea Salad.

I saw the Barefoot Contessa make a version of this salad on one of her episodes in London. She was inspired by her trip to this amazing store, Ottelenghi, which also happens to be one of my favorite cookbooks. As Heather is a fitness guru, I thought this salad might be a healthy choice – somewhat balancing out the rich pulled pork. This salad was a hit and I knew I had to recreate it here for y’all….
