    I recently read about some hip, tiny new restaurant that had no oven or stove, but only opened cans of high-quality fish (anchovies, tuna, sardines) and served them in creative ways. This recipe is definitely on trend!

      If you would have told me that before I tried this tuna I would have been more than skeptical, but this really is a great tuna. I have only been exposed to bad sardines so maybe I will give it another go.

      Thanks so much Wini for stopping by. I can’t gush enough about your food and you always teach me a little something.

    Your meal looks not only colorful, but healthy, Madonna. I haven’t heard of that tuna, but I’m glad that you found it to be a good quality one. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us.

      Kitty, if you get a chance to try this it will spoil you. I think it would go perfectly with your strawberry dessert.

    I like tuna and beans and your salad looks very good. Perhaps when we move to Florida, I’ll be able to find the jarred tuna.

      Karen, this is a really good tuna and I would encourage you to have a jar or two in the pantry for those emergency lunches, but I have to say when you get to Florida you should have access to all types of seafood.

      I hope your move goes smoothly.

    Unfortunately, it is not often that I eat this kind of tuna out of a jar. It can be expensive, but if it is the main ingredient in a salad, I go for it anyway. It tastes so much better than out of the can. Love your salad.

      Susan, I have to say it was more than I usually spend on a can of tuna, but I would encourage you to spurge on one jar and see what you think. I am pretty sure it will serve four in a salad and when you think of it that way it is not that costly.

      Thanks for stopping by Susan.

      Thanks for stopping by Monique. I hope everyone will give this a try. It really is a great lunch. You can use the olive oil that the tuna is packed in. And yes, a squeeze of lemon brightens a dish.

      Maybe your friend should have kept that ex. 🙂

    I love the combo of tuna and beans — they’re just made for each other. Buying good tuna has become difficult, hasn’t it? I usually get the tuna in oil, although I agree it often doesn’t taste much better than the water-packed stuff. Definitely need to find this tuna — it looks terrific. As does the recipe. 😉 Thanks!

    I like tuna, but you’re right it does have to do with the quality of the tuna. And the salad sounds great.

    I’ve never found fancy tuna like this in the shops but your salad is definitely calling my name. It’s healthy, delicious and easy to make. What could anyone want more than this?

    What a beautiful salad – and perfect for the season. I am intrigued by the tuna you purchased. I will have to try and find some in a market near me. I have not seen that brand before. I would love to taste it. Salads like this – bean and protein – are so satisfying, both to the eye and the palate. Plus when I see dishes like this I know summer can not be far off. Greetings to you, and I hope all is well.

      Jebbica this is so good and healthy too. This tuna will make it difficult to eat just any tuna. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will give this a try.
