White Bean Tuna Salad Recipe

I have another winning salad modified from Kalyn's Kitchen. I've made this salad twice now and everyone who tastes it loves it. It's packed with protein and flavor. I added radishes to Kalyn's recipe and made a few minor adjustments. The added crunch of the radishes is a great contrast to the tuna and beans. I also used cilantro instead of parsley. You can use whatever is your favorite.
