Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Tuna in olive oil (or in water with added olive oil) Use high-quality tuna for better flavor.
  • 1 can Cannellini beans Rinsed well.
  • 1/4 cup Red onion Finely chopped.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Use flat-leaf for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice Or fresh lime juice as a twist.
  • 4 tablespoons Olive oil High-quality extra virgin recommended.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Or yellow mustard if Dijon is unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano Optional but recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the tuna and Cannellini beans.
  2. Add the finely chopped red onion and parsley to the bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and dried oregano (if using).
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and mix gently until everything is well coated.

Notes

This salad is best served chilled. You can enjoy it on its own, on a bed of greens, or inside a pita for a more filling meal. Top it with some extra parsley or lemon slices for a beautiful presentation. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The flavors may deepen, making it even more delicious the next day!
