How to Make Mediterranean Tuna And White Bean Salad

  1. Preheat your broiler. Drain and rinse one (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans. Gently flake two (5-ounce) cans of tuna in water, reserving any liquid.
  2. Halve one red bell pepper and one yellow bell pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the peppers are nicely charred. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin from the peppers. Roughly chop the peppers into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the drained and rinsed beans, flaked tuna, and chopped peppers. Add 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives (pitted and halved).
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  8. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately or chill for later.
