Ingredients for Antipasti Di Tonno E Fagioli

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in olive oil (drained, reserving oil)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • Cannellini Beans
  • Garlic Clove
  • Celery Rib
  • Whole Grain Mustard
  • Dried Oregano
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Antipasti Di Tonno E Fagioli

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons olive oil (reserved from tuna can), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined and slightly thickened.
  2. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid from the can of beans to thin it out to your desired consistency.
  3. Gently fold in 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in olive oil (drained, reserving oil), 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, and 1 clove minced garlic. Break up the tuna with a fork as you incorporate it into the dressing.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
