My parents owned a restaurant for years, so it's no surprise I love to cook. The light vinaigrette dressing nicely complements the tuna and beans in this salad.

TWO-BEAN AND TUNA SALAD



Two-Bean and Tuna Salad image

This is the most amazing version of tuna and bean salad I've ever tasted. It incorporates crunchy green beans, a red onion made a little milder by soaking in water, tuna and a bean of your choice. I've used a lush bean called Good Mother Stallard, which really makes this salad stand out. You can substitute borlotti beans, pinto or white beans. If you're using canned beans, rinse them first. Whichever bean you choose, you'll have an amazing light and satisfying meal.

Time 15m

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
1 small red onion, cut in half and sliced in half-moons (optional)
2 5-ounce cans tuna (packed in water or olive oil), drained
1 1/2 cups cooked Good Mother Stallard, borlotti, pinto or white beans (if using canned beans, rinse)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram or sage
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
1 garlic clove, minced or puréed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons bean broth
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil and add salt to taste. Blanch green beans for 4 minutes (5 minutes if beans are thick), until just tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water and drain. (Alternatively, steam beans for 4 to 5 minutes). Cut or break beans in half if very long.
  • Meanwhile, place sliced onion, if using, in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak 5 minutes. Drain, rinse and drain again on paper towels.
  • Drain tuna and place in a salad bowl. Break up with a fork. Add cooked dried beans, green beans, onion and herbs. Toss together.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, salt, garlic, mustard and bean broth. Whisk in olive oil. Toss with tuna and bean mixture, and serve.
