Cannellini Tuna |
About this recipe
Cannellini is just a fancy name for white kidney beans. Great Northern beans are similar (so they can be used instead). Rehydrate and cook 1 cup dried beans (yielding 2 cups) or drain and rinse a 19 oz. can.
Instructions
Into a bowl, put:
- 1 (19 oz.) can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed).
- 1 average-sized can of tuna (drained and broken up with your hands),
- 1 cup celery (diced),
- ½ cup white or purple onion (thinly sliced),
- 1-2 cups fusilli pasta (first cooked in salted water and cooled).
Add:
- olive oil to coat (approx. 2 tbsp.),
- ½ tsp. salt and (very important) ¾ tsp. black pepper.
Toss and add:
-
white wine or white balsamic vinegar (approx. 1 tbsp.).
Toss again, taste, and adjust if needed. Cover in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- This salad keeps well, so you can make it the night before.
-
Don’t make this with salmon (it sucks). I thought it’d be a good idea but it wasn’t, kind of like the time I tried on ladies’ underwear.
