Directions
This Sicilian‑style tuna and bean salad is all about simple ingredients prepared with care. Tender white beans, crisp celery, sweet tomatoes, briny capers, and thinly sliced red onion come together with a bright red wine vinaigrette that soaks into every bite. Chunky tuna and fresh parsley add richness and freshness, turning a handful of pantry staples into a vibrant, satisfying dish. It’s quick to assemble, full of Mediterranean flavor, and perfect for a light lunch, an easy dinner, or a make‑ahead meal that only gets better as it rests.
Drain and rinse the beans, then add them to a large serving bowl. Thinly slice the red onion into half‑moon slivers. Wash and slice the celery, halve the tomatoes, and rinse the capers to remove excess brine. Mince the garlic clove and set everything aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup extra‑virgin olive oil and 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add all of the prepared ingredients to the bowl, except for the tuna and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Drain the tuna and gently break it into chunky pieces. Add it to the top of the salad, then sprinkle the chopped parsley over everything. Lightly fold the tuna and parsley into the mixture, keeping the tuna in visible pieces so the salad stays textured and appealing.
Enjoy!
