this white bean and tuna salad appears on our lunch or supper table nearly every week during the summer. it's so full of summer goodness and flavor. and there's usually a small tub of leftovers in the frig in case anyone wants to stuff some into a pita, take it out on the front porch, and call it a picnic.

white bean and tuna salad
2 cans cannellini beans (15oz each), drained and rinsed
2 cans tuna (use the dark italian variety, packed in oil, if you can find it), drained
3 summer ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped coarse
1/2 red onion, diced
1/3 c fresh basil leaves, slivered
1/2 c olive oil
3 T balsamic vinegar
1 t dijon mustard (grey poupon really is better than any of those fancy french brands)
pinch kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
mix olive oil, balsamic and dijon with s&p in bottom of a large bowl.
stir gently so as not to make mush of the beans.
adjust seasonings.
let sit 30 minutes before serving - if you can wait that long.
