GIADA DE LAURENTIIS' WHITE BEAN AND TUNA SALAD
This is a traditional combination in Italy and makes a wonderful full-meal salad. Tuna packed in oil, though hard to find anymore, makes a difference in this salad. Try it at least once this way! You may want to chill the ingredients somewhat in the refrigerator before assembling salad.

LARGE WHITE BEAN, TUNA AND SPINACH SALAD
You could use canned cannellini beans for this, but I love the size and texture of large white limas. I don't soak limas because the skins tend to detach and the beans fall apart when you cook them. You want them intact for this, but you also need to make sure to cook them all the way through.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans and combine with the water in a soup pot. Add the halved onion, the crushed garlic cloves, the bay leaf and the sage leaves. Bring to a gentle boil, add salt to taste, cover and boil very gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beans are tender (sometimes they take longer, about 2 hours; it depends in part on the age of the beans). Remove from the heat. Set a colander over a bowl and drain the beans. Discard the bay leaf, onion, garlic cloves and sage. Some of the beans will have slipped out of their skins and fallen apart, but most should be intact. The broth can be used for a soup or pasta sauce.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spinach and the dressing. Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, minced or puréed garlic, mustard, salt to taste and the olive oil.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the beans and the tuna. Don't worry if some of the lima beans fall apart. Add the mint, half the chives and half the dressing and toss again. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss the spinach with the remaining dressing. Line a platter or wide bowl with the spinach, top with the tuna, and sprinkle the remaining chives over the top. Garnish with red onions and black olives if desired, and serve.

TUNA, CAULIFLOWER AND WHITE BEAN SALAD
Cauliflower is very happy in a pungent marinade, so I added it to one of my favorite stand-bys, tuna and bean salad. I liked this salad even more with the cauliflower added, as the tuna flavor infuses the cauliflower along with the vinegar and olive oil. You can use canned white beans, or cook up some delicious giant white beans and some of their broth in the dressing. The salad tastes even better if it has a few hours or a day to sit, and it keeps well.

MEDITERRANEAN WHITE BEAN AND TUNA SALAD
This is so easy to make and usually I have all the ingredients at home. It is healthier and lighter than the heavy mayonnaise tuna salads and more convenient to take along to picknicks and barbeques. It tastes great served on lettuce or on bread. You can use any fresh herbs you want with this. I like it best with either sage or rosemary and thyme. One more tip: Use solid tuna, not the flaky kind, to get the best results.

TONNO E FAGIOLI (TUNA AND WHITE BEAN SALAD)
Steps:
- I Soak beans in a large bowl of cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain, put into a medium pot, and add 6 cups of cold water, garlic, sage, and 1 tbsp. of the oil. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, 45-60 minutes. Drain, put beans into a large bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside to let cool. 2. Add tuna, breaking up large chunks with a wooden spoon, to bowl with beans. Scatter onions over tuna, then drizzle with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna: Opt for tuna packed in water or olive oil for a healthier option and avoid tuna packed in oil, which is higher in calories and unhealthy fats.
- Use fresh and flavorful ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and seasonings to enhance the flavor of the salad. This will make the salad more enjoyable and nutritious.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent it from becoming dry and tough. Aim for a light pink color in the center of the tuna when it is cooked.
- Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more refreshing. Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor.
