Caprese Tuna Salad

_ Ingredients

 sweet vine ripened tomato

1/2 cup cannelini beans

6 oz good quality tuna

Salt

 olive oil


_ Instructions

Use the freshest ingredients possible. The simplicity of this dish relies

 on ripe, quality ingredients to give it flavor. Buy your tomatoes and

basil from the farmer's market or harvest it from your garden. The

tomatoes are particularly important- they need to be ripe and perfectly

sweet. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, the high lycopene tomatoes

have terrific flavor. Use a good quality olive oil if possible.

Drain the excess oil off the tuna and flake it into a salad bowl. Scatter

the beans, fresh basil and tomato over the top of the tuna. Drizzle the

salad with olive oil and season with salt to taste. Serve
