Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups cooked Cannellini beans ((see notes))
  • 1 (7 ounce) can solid white tuna in water, (well drained)
  • ½ cup basil leaves, (washed and dried, roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup packed spinach leaves, (washed and dried, roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (I like Piquillos) (roughly chopped (see notes))
  • 1 cup red onion, (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup capers
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Combine ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, tuna, basil, spinach, peppers, onion and capers.
  • Make vinaigrette. In a small bowl, use a whisk to blend the oil with the vinegar and lemon juice.
  • Assemble. Pour the vinaigrette over the bean mixture and season the salad generously to taste with salt and pepper.
