Mixed Bean Salad - Nice and Simple

This is a really nice mixed bean salad that is so simple to make. I saw it on TV ages ago but can't remember what programme.

Anyway, it looked good so I've been making it quite often ever since. You can stir in a can of tuna (in oil, not brine) if you wish but be sure to drain it well.

For a complete meal rather than just a side dish, why not stir in a can of tuna in oil, not brine, just be sure to drain it well before adding.
