Tuna White Bean Salad Flatbread – 27g protein and less than 300 calories!
This tuna white bean salad flatbread is a pizza you don’t have to feel guilty about! Filling, flavorful and fun to eat — and unbelievably easy to prepare.
I’m so excited to be teaming up with Flatout Flatbread and StarkKist to bring you this healthy and filling recipe. This flatbread pizza is very unique and light — but filling at the same time. You guys are going to love it.
My husband loves tuna. He ate it all the time when he was in the Marines. When he was a teacher, the staff of the school all contributed to a school cookbook for fundraising purposes.
Ben’s recipe was “Yellow Tuna.”
You might be thinking, “Ooooh a yellowfin tuna recipe?”
Nope.
Ben’s recipe was this: “Open a can of tuna, drain. Mix with mustard and eat with a fork.”
Yep.
If he can eat it like that, it is clear that he loves tuna. Me…I’m a little iffy on it but like it when it is prepared in certain ways.
And you all already know I love Flatout Flatbread, so I’m excited to partner with them for this post. I use one of Flatout’s products practically daily and love that they are a Michigan company.
Have you tried Flatout Flatbread? Try making a ham and egg wrap with herb, and or my vegetarian wrap with provolone and roasted red pepper hummus. I have a bunch of flatbread recipes that I’ll list for you at the end of this post. I’d love for you to try one!
The flatbread crust only has 140 calories and the herb and garlic tuna packet only contains 110 calories, making this a very low calorie entree! The herb and garlic tuna is so flavorful that you barely need dressing. I just spritz the spinach with a light spray of extra virgin olive oil for a little moisture and flavor. If you just have plain tuna, that’s okay, too. You may want to drizzle a bit of your favorite vinaigrette over the pizza.
The white beans lend such a creamy texture (plus nutrition and fiber) that you won’t even miss the mayo and cheese that often accompany tuna.
This tuna and white bean salad flatbread pizza is so protein packed (the flatbread alone has 7 grams!) that you’ll feel satisfied but not weighed down and heavy. Flatout is surprisingly high in fiber as well. (Can you tell I love the stuff?)
I love making this flatbread pizza for lunch or for a light dinner. Ben said “I could eat this every day!”
You can simplify this recipe for kids. I bake a Flatout flatbread pizza with tuna and a light sprinkle of cheese for my 3 year old. She loves it!

I’ve been craving the “Maurice Salad” that we used to order from Hudson’s restaurants in the department stores back in Michigan. I have the recipe from a cookbook they sold – this would be perfect pairings
yum!
I to like to mix the tuna with mayonnaise, sliced apples and sultanas the wrap in a Flat Out for a delicious lunch! Sounds like an odd combination but it is delicious.
I would make a tuna guac salad wrap! I mix the 100-calorie Wholly Guacamole packets with a serving of tuna and some salsa or spicy red pepper relish with a dash of hot sauce…I usually eat it as is, but it would make an awesome wrap on some Flatout bread.
Sounds great!
I would add jalapenos and cheddar cheese!
I would make my tuna salad and spread on the flatbread. Then I’d slice some beefsteak tomatoes and put the slices on top with some salt and pepper.
I would make tuna melts with thousand island dressing and Starkist Tuna on a Flatout Flatbread these are so good.
I love flat outs! I use them all the time instead of bread for sandwhiches. My fiance is a big tuna guy – sometimes I make him tuna fish sandwhiches – er wraps rather – using the flatouts. I must try this recipe too!
I’m not normally a fan of fish, but oh my goodness I am all over this recipe!!
I’m not a huge fan of fish either! But the herb & garlic flavor definitely helps!
Looks great!
This looks like the perfect thing for lunch! YUM.
I would make a flatbread with the tuna, scallions, maybe bean sprouts drizzled with a soy ginger dressing.
I’d make my favorite tuna salad and eat it on the flatbread! I use mayo, craisins, dill, tarragon, walnuts, flax seeds (ground or whole), cheese (colby or cheddar), and will eat it plain or on a wrap or sandwich. It’s SO delicious!
I’d try this recipe – it sounds great.
I like your pizza idea :)
I like the other commenters’ suggestions for tuna melts, but I think I’d do a traditional tuna salad with some nice veggies, much like your recipe (which looks scrumptious!).
What a great recipe! I agree with Ben, though too–anything with mustard is a great meal.
I would make a Mediterranean wrap with artichoke hearts, tuna and sun-dried tomatoes :)
My family would love this recipe. I think I would try this one out!! :)
I’d make this! It looks delicious and I’m trying to drop some weight, so it would be perfect!
Sounds great! Bacon makes everything wonderful. :)
Love how light and fresh this is!
I would make my tuna salad, spread it on the flatbread and maybe cut it into cracker size pieces, I would put out some olives, pickles, tomato, avocado, etc so people can garnish their crackers however they like. I think this would make a really nice starter for a dinner party.
Great idea!
I’d make tuna pinwheels for my kids’ lunches (and hubby’s too!)
I like tuna and the bread looks yummy. I would make tuna cheese quesadilla, easy on the cheese of course. Black beans instead of white beans.
I would grill it and create a tuna pizza with fresh vegi’s :) so many possiblities make a sandwhich and make a hot tuna melt
