Instructions

Use the freshest ingredients possible. The simplicity of this dish relies on ripe, quality ingredients to give it flavor. Buy your tomatoes and basil from the farmer's market or harvest it from your garden. The tomatoes are particularly important- they need to be ripe and perfectly sweet. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, the high lycopene tomatoes have terrific flavor. Use a good quality olive oil if possible.Drain the excess oil off the tuna and flake it into a salad bowl. Scatter the beans, fresh basil and tomato over the top of the tuna. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and season with salt to taste. Serve.
