Tuna White Bean Salad Flatbread

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 StarKist 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!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush or spray flatbread lightly on both sides with olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- When it comes out of the oven, pile spinach on top (dividing between two flatbreads pizzas). Spray spinach lightly with olive oil. Top with tuna, beans, cucumber, tomato and celery. Serve immediately

This looks like the perfect thing for lunch! YUM.
Bethany C. says
I would make a flatbread with the tuna, scallions, maybe bean sprouts drizzled with a soy ginger dressing.
Catherine @ Happily Ever Crafter says
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!
The Home Cook says
I’d try this recipe – it sounds great.
Kristy says
I like your pizza idea :)
Anne says
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!).
DessertForTwo says
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 :)
Jessica says
My family would love this recipe. I think I would try this one out!! :)
Christy says
I’d make this! It looks delicious and I’m trying to drop some weight, so it would be perfect!
Rachel Gurk says
Sounds great! Bacon makes everything wonderful. :)
Laurie {Simply Scratch} says
Love how light and fresh this is!
Jen L says
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.
Rachel Gurk says
Great idea!
Sarah says
I’d make tuna pinwheels for my kids’ lunches (and hubby’s too!)
robyn says
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.
Scottica R says
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
