Tuscan Tuna and Bean Salad
Author: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • Lettuce – a handful for each serving
  • 2 cups white beans (or 1-15 oz. can rinsed well)
  • 1 jar of tuna
  • 4 tablespoon red onion – diced small
  • 8-10 grape tomatoes – halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon parsley - chopped
  • 4 tablespoon vinegar of your choice
  • 2 tablespoon oil – (you may not need any extra oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash, dry well and shred your lettuce; set aside; save a few leaves for bedding.
  2. Drain the beans. If you didn’t cook your own beans (I’m not judging) rinse and drain thoroughly.
  3. Fine dice the red onion.
  4. Add onions in a bowl with the vinegar. (This will keep the onions from oxidizing or becoming too strong.)
  5. Add the beans – toss well.
  6. Add the parsley or your herb of choice.
  7. Add the tuna with the oil.
  8. Stir and adjust the oil or vinegar. You may need more oil or not – adjust to your taste.
  9. Cut the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  10. In a serving size bowl add a bed of lettuce and top with tuna and bean salad.
  11. Top with the tomatoes.
  12. Serve with some good bread - A baguette or some toast soldiers.
  13. Enjoy your lunch.
