Tuna & Bean Salad

All you need when the weather is hot is a cool salad. This salad here is quick and easy to prepare as we use beans from a can. Obviously you can use dried beans but you will have to soak them for at least 8 hours. Like this you can prepare it very quickly. We like to serve it with three different condiments mayonnaise/salad cream, balsamic vinegar and loads of extra virgin olive oil. You can use any beans you want. Serves 4. You will need...

• 1 large can butter beans
• 1 large can pinto beans
• 1 large can borlotti beans
• 2 large cans tuna chunks
• 4 Hard boiled eggs
• Half red onion, sliced thinly
• 4 small beetroots
• 4 small potatoes
• Handful of cherry tomatoes
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Balsamic vinegar
• Mayonnaise or Salad cream

Method

1. Drain the beans, rinse them and put them into a bowl. Then drain the tuna and add it to the beans.
2. Add the sliced onion, potatoes, tomatoes and some olive oil. Mix slowly.
3. Plate the salad and garnish with the eggs and beetroots.
4. Dress with more olive oil, balsamic vinegar and maybe some mayo.

Enjoy!!
