Bean and Tuna Salad

When you get into the habit of using your Sun Oven on a regular basis you almost hate to see a sunny day go to waste. When I have my dinner covered I like to throw in a big pot of beans. Once cooked, store them in their cooking liquid. They’ll keep in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. I suppose you could freeze them; mine never last that long. Once you have cooked beans on hand (and cooked dried beans are so much better than canned), you’ll be able to create everything from dips to main dishes.
