This healthy, tasty, high-protein lunch is a flavor-popping way to amp up a standard salad. Each component brings its own bold flavor and texture. The sun-dried tomatoes add just the right sweetness and chew, while cannellini beans provide fiber and protein with a creamy mouthfeel, olives for that briny touch, and a can of tuna flaked into the salad rounds out the sock-it-to-me flavors.

Author's Notes

I grilled the radicchio to get some smoky flavors into the salad - but it's not required for this recipe. If you'd prefer, just skip oiling and grilling the lettuce and slice it into 1/2" pieces. Continue with the recipe.

step 1

Preheat the grill to medium high or use a grill pan.

step 2

Place the Radicchio (1 head) on a cutting board and cut in quarters vertically, through the core. Drizzle cut sides with 1/2 teaspoon of Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) each.

step 3

Grill the radicchio 1-2 minutes per side just to get a little char and smoke.

step 4

Remove from grill and cut away the core. Slice radicchio into 1/2" slices and transfer to a large bowl.
