Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    100 g Navy (Flageolet) Beans, canned, drained
    56 g Tuna in Olive Oil
    1 Lemon
    1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or reserve the oil from the tuna if good quality)
    1/2 an Onion
    Parsley and lettuce to serve.

Tips

The better the quality of the ingredients, the better the salad. Ideal with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.
This is a good recipe to use up the beans left over from Lamb and Bean Tagine.


Directions

1. Start by putting the beans to soak in some fresh water (although they are tinned they benefit from a short soak)
2. Slice the onion into rings and put to soak with the beans.
3. Tip the tuna into a serving bowl and either drizzle with olive oil or use a tsp of the reserved oil from the can if good quality.
4. Squeeze half the lemon over the tuna.
5. Drain the beans and onions well and mix into the tuna.
6. Sprinkle over chopped parsley and serve with the rest of the lemon cut into wedges.

Serving Size: Makes two portions to serve in a lettuce leafcup.
