Yield 4 main dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can (15 to 15.5 oz) white cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
1/2 c. thinly sliced red onion, halved
1 can tuna (6 oz) in olive oil, drain and reserve oil
1 cup diced plum tomatoes
1/2 c. pitted kalamata olives
2 tbsp. chopped italian parsley
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups torn arugula leaves
4 thick flatbreads

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine beans, red onion, tuna, tomatoes, olives, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine and add arugula 2. Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush flatbreads lightly with the remaining reserved olive oil. Grill until lightly browned about 2 mins per side. Cut flatbreads in halves or quarters. Serve with salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna: Look for tuna packed in olive oil or water, rather than brine, as this will give your salad a richer flavor and texture.
  • Choose a variety of beans: White beans are the traditional choice for this salad, but you can also use chickpeas, kidney beans, or black beans. Experiment with different types of beans to find your favorite combination.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and oregano will add a pop of flavor to your salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more dressing, but it's hard to take it out.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.
