Ingredients

  • Canned tuna2 pcs
  • Canned white beans1 pc
  • Red onion1 pc
  • Lemon1 pc
  • Olive oil2 tbsp
  • Parsley10 g
  • Salt1 pinch
  • Pepper1 pinch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the tuna and the beans; rinse the beans under cold water and let them drip dry.

  2. 2

    Slice the red onion into thin half-moons and roughly chop the parsley.

    Tip: If raw onion is too sharp for you, soak the slices in cold water while you prepare the rest.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, the juice of the lemon, salt and pepper into a dressing.

  4. 4

    Add the beans, flaked tuna, onion and parsley to the bowl and toss gently.

    Tip: Toss gently so the tuna stays in bigger flakes instead of turning to mush.

  5. 5

    Let the salad sit for 10 minutes so the flavors come together.

  6. 6

    Taste, adjust the lemon and salt, and serve.

Cooking methods

On the stove

No stove needed - this salad is fully assembled cold. If you want a warm touch, briefly toast a few slices of bread in a dry pan over medium heat and serve them alongside.

On induction

No cooking required. If you'd like toasted bread on the side, a dry pan at level 6–7 for a minute per side does the job.

Over an open fire

There is nothing to cook here, so a fire is not needed. If you happen to be at a campfire, the salad works great next to bread toasted over the embers.
