Salads are a go to healthy lunch recipe (opens in new tab), but they can become a bit monotonous if you don’t switch up your ingredients every now and again.

Thankfully, this easy recipe uses different ingredients, but they’re all things you’ll probably already have in your cupboard.

Tinned tuna is a great go to for a healthy addition to any salad as it’s packed with essential omega-3 fatty acids that help heart health.

The butter beans and kidney beans in this dish are also a great source of fibre and protein, as well as vitamin B1.

If you’re in a hurry, or haven’t had time to pop to the shops raiding your cupboards and whipping up this tasty salad is a great way to stay on top of your healthy eating.
