Using pantry staples like canned beans, tuna packed in water, jarred roasted peppers, capers, and chicken broth, helps make this meal fast. Enjoy it for lunch or dinner, as is, or served over mixed greens. If you're not a tuna lover, swap in shredded cooked chicken breast in its place. If raw onions are too sharp for your taste, use finely chopped shallots instead which are more mild in flavor.
