Gil's Mediteranean Bean Salad
From RetiredCook 9 years agoIngredients
- 2 cans tuna in olive oil -- (6 ounces each) preferably imported, drained, oil reserved (See Note below) shopping list
- 1 can each -- (15 1/2 ounces) drained, rinsed: black beans, cannellini (white kidney) beans shopping list
- 1 bunch green onions -- trimmed, sliced shopping list
- 1 clove garlic -- minced shopping list
- 2 roasted red peppers -- cut into 1/4-inch strips shopping list
- 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives shopping list
- Juice of 1 lemon shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. each: Dijon mustard - shopping list
- salt shopping list
- Freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 12 fresh basil leaves -- roughly torn, optional shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the tuna, beans, green onions, garlic, roasted red peppers and olives in a large bowl; set aside.
- Combine 1/4 cup of reserved tuna oil (add more olive oil to make 1/4 cup, if necessary) into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add lemon juice and mustard; shake until thoroughly blended. Fold dressing into salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
- Notes:
- 1. For tuna packed in water, substitute with olive oil.
- 2. Bottled roasted red peppers are fine for this dish. It's worth spending the extra money for Italian or Spanish canned tuna; the flavor is superior to the domestic brands
