TUSCAN TUNA AND WHITE BEAN SALAD



Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad image

This no-mayo tuna salad is dressed with a simple drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. For my salads, I prefer an olive oil with a fruity instead of grassy taste.

TUNA WITH TUSCAN WHITE BEAN SALAD



Tuna with Tuscan White Bean Salad image

Once the tuna steaks hit the grill, do not move them around or they may tear. This recipe is for tuna that is still pink in the middle (medium-rare). Increase the cooking time for tuna that is more cooked through. -Vance E. Werner Jr., Franklin, Wisconsin

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 15m

Yield Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small or 1/2 medium red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 (6 1/2-ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans or borlotti beans, drained through a strainer and rinsed
3 fresh sage leaves, slivered
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small or medium garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plain low-fat or nonfat yogurt (or omit and use 4 tablespoons olive oil)
1/2 Japanese cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the onion in a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of the vinegar and cold water to cover. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then dry on paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl or salad bowl, combine the tuna, beans, onions, sage, and parsley.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
16 fresh sage leaves (8 chopped, 8 whole)
2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans
3/4 pound kale, stems and ribs discarded, large leaves torn in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 inner stalks celery, thinly sliced (with some leaves)
1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1/3 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1 12-ounce can solid white albacore tuna in water, drained

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chopped sage and cook until the garlic just starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the beans (including the liquid from the cans) and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender and the liquid looks creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, celery, olives and roasted peppers in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then fry the sage leaves until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes; drain on paper towels. Reserve the oil.
  • Break the tuna into large chunks and divide among shallow bowls. Spoon the bean mixture around the tuna and top with the olive salad and fried sage. Drizzle with the reserved sage oil and season with salt.
