Cover and simmer until the watercress stems are bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the tuna, beans, onion, and roasted pepper to the bowl and toss to blend.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, capers, and salt and black pepper to taste. Puree until smooth.

BEAN AND TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Place onion rings in a bowl, cover with cold water and squeeze them with your hands seven or eight times to release a slightly milky liquid into the water (in the process the onion becomes milder). 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.

Combine all ingredients (along with chopped fresh herbs) and mix gently. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
