Tuna Tomato And White Bean Salad Food

WHITE BEAN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the tuna, reserving the olive oil in a separate small bowl. Break tuna into bite-size pieces with a large fork. Add the beans and capers. Into the bowl of olive oil, add the red wine vinegar. You should have 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil - add more extra-virgin olive oil if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing on the tuna, bean and caper mixture and allow the flavors to infuse while slicing the vegetables. Add the onion and tomatoes to tuna mixture and toss gently.
• Place the arugula on large decorative platter and top with tuna mixture. Tear fresh basil leaves over the top and serve immediately.

TUNA, TOMATO & WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, lemon juice, salt and pepper until emulsified. The dressing should have some zing, as this is needed to flavor the salad well. Place the beans in a large bowl. Add the 2 cans of drained tuna. I flake with a fork as I add to the bowl, keeping some good-size chunks. Add the tomatoes and herbs, and toss to incorporate. Pour enough vinaigrette over the salad to evenly coat. I usually add most but not all. At this point you can cover and refrigerate the salad for an hour or two. In this case, you may want to add an extra drizzle of the dressing just before serving, as beans are absorbent. Any extra dressing is also helpful if you choose to add optional extras (see notes section) like greens, artichokes, etc. Serve at room temperature or chilled with a crusty piece of bread, corn on the cob, zucchini noodles, or all by itself. Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator where they will keep for approximately 4 days.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Return water to a boil; add green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Mix together garlic and vinegar; let stand 5 minutes. Grate 1 or 2 tomatoes to yield 1/2 cup; add to vinegar mixture. Whisk in oil; season to taste. Cut remaining tomatoes into wedges, arrange on a platter, season, and drizzle with oil.
• Toss white beans with half of dressing. Toss green beans with 1 tablespoon dressing; arrange on platter with potatoes, tuna, white beans, and arugula. Season to taste, drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve.
