"I adapted this recipe from one in my local newspaper," writes Kathy Armstrong of Post Falls, Idaho. "The zippy Dijon dressing adds interest to the beans, tuna, olives and onion. It makes a filling and healthy lunch that I like to take to work.

I've made this twice already and it is on the menu for next week. The trick with this recipe is to make it early in the day so the red wine vinegar can be absorbed by all of the ingredients. If you eat it immediately it is way too vinegary.

We made this yesterday and served it over pasta; the salad just needed something to fill it out. My husband wouldn't eat more than his first couple bites.

I had it on saltines later after that, but it still wasn't very good.

I tried it again on saltines the next day (today) and it is MUCH better.

Still don't think I'll make it again.
