Ingredients
- 1 large red onion
- 1 lemon zested and juiced plus 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 30 ounces cannellini or Great Northern white beans 2 (x 15 oz cans), drained and rinsed
- 12 ounce tuna in olive oil 2 (x 6 oz cans), drained well
- 2/3 cup sliced black olives
- 2 celery stalks finely chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon chili pepper or crushed red peppers, or to taste
Instructions
- To make the pickled onion, slice the onion very thinly, and add it to a small bowl.
- Squeeze the lemon over the onion and add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside until the rest of the ingredients are ready.
- To a salad bowl, add the beans, together with the tuna, olives, celery, pickled onion, and freshly chopped parsley. Gently stir to combine.
- Serve the salad with lemon wedges and enjoy!
Notes
- Use good-grade tuna in olive oil. You may use tuna in water but you will need to add a bit of oil to the salad.
- I used white beans but you can use any other beans of choice. Don't like beans? use chickpeas.
- Crushed red peppers are optional if you don't like a bit of spice.
- Tip: Chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
