Notes
- Use good quality tuna and make sure it's from a sustainable source.
- Quality also goes for the cannellini beans, don't go for the cheapest as they tend to be harder and not as tasty.
- Make sure to rinse the cannellini beans before adding to the salad.
- You can use tuna canned in water or oil.
- Serves 4 as a main or 6 as a side.
