Notes

Variation:You could use canned red salmon with cannellini beans instead of tuna and kidney beans. Replace the dressing with sweet chilli sauce.

Tip: To prevent tortilla baskets breaking or becoming soggy, pack in a separate airtight container to salad. Spoon salad into baskets and drizzle withdressing just before serving.
