Cannellini Bean and Tuna Salad



1 can (7 oz.) premium canned tuna, drained
¾ cup red onion, thinly sliced crosswise
1 can (15.5 oz.) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

I'm pretty sure this is the kind of thing they mean by "thinly sliced crosswise."


Pour tuna into bowl and break up with fork. Stir in onion and beans. 

Mix it up carefully so you get the onions all separated without smooshing the beans or pulverizing the tuna.


Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss thoroughly with olive oil and vinegar. 

Thoroughly! No half-assing this one, no sirree!


Serve at room temperature. 

Remember that dishes that aren't terribly pretty can still have great flavor 

My Rating: 4/5 "Love the textures - really comforting to chew, actually. I might have liked a little less onion, but it did add a nice pop! to the beans and tuna."
