TUNA AND BEAN SALAD



Tuna and Bean Salad image

This is a mainstay in my house, something you can always throw together for an easy light meal. The authentic version would call for tuna packed in olive oil, but I actually prefer water-packed tuna. The salad packs a lot of protein, not just from the beans, but also from the tuna, which is also an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

WARM TUNA AND BEAN SALAD



Warm Tuna and Bean Salad image

I got this recipe when I was at a crafts fair in Scotland. There was a cooking demonstration in the old fish market hall by the harbour, you could taste the food and get the recipe. I love having tuna salad during the summer months, when it's to warm to cook and all you want is a light meal. If you don't want to make your own dressing it's also nice with French Dressing.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 medium onion preferably sweet peeled and sliced in thin rings
1 cup dry cannellini beans cooked or 3 cups canned cannellini beans, drained
Salt
1 7-ounce can imported tuna packed in olive oil

1 tablespoon good quality red-wine vinegar, or to taste
Coarsely ground fresh black pepper to taste

Drain onion rings, replace in the bowl and re-cover with water. Repeat this procedure two or three times. Before using the onions, gather them tightly in your hand to squeeze out all excess moisture.
  • Put the beans and onion in a serving bowl, sprinkle liberally with salt and toss.
  • Drain the tuna, and add it to the bowl, breaking it into large flakes with a fork.
  • Pour on enough olive oil to coat the mixture well, add a dash of vinegar and a generous amount of pepper. Toss thoroughly and check for seasoning; then serve.

TUNA, TOMATO, AND WHITE-BEAN SALAD



Tuna, Tomato, and White-Bean Salad image

On the hottest of summer days, it's best to leave the oven off as much as possible. This salad for dinner recipe has you use the stovetop just once-to simmer potatoes and cook green beans. Other than that, it's smooth sailing to a practically no-cook dinner that's light, refreshing, and delicious.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Yukon Gold potatoes (12 ounces), peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces green beans, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon grated garlic (from 1 small clove)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 pound tomatoes, such as Campari or beefsteak
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 can (15.5 ounces) white beans, such as cannellini, drained and rinsed
2 jars (each 5 ounces) high-quality tuna packed in oil, drained
Arugula, for serving

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 2 inches and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then cook until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Return water to a boil; add green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix together garlic and vinegar; let stand 5 minutes. Grate 1 or 2 tomatoes to yield 1/2 cup; add to vinegar mixture. Whisk in oil; season to taste. Cut remaining tomatoes into wedges, arrange on a platter, season, and drizzle with oil.
  • Toss white beans with half of dressing. Toss green beans with 1 tablespoon dressing; arrange on platter with potatoes, tuna, white beans, and arugula. Season to taste, drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tuna steaks. If using frozen tuna, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the tuna steaks liberally with salt and pepper before searing. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the tuna steaks over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Do not overcook the tuna, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing them. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the tuna steaks with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
  • If you are using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or bell pepper.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, use a combination of olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Warm tuna and bean salad is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
