Big, creamy butter beans give a tuna and celery salad terrific heartiness. The salad would also be delicious spooned over slices of warm grilled country bread. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup snipped chives |
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper |
7 1/2-ounce cans italian tuna in olive oil, drained |
3 celery stalks with leaves, thinly sliced on the bias |
2 15-ounce cans butter beans, drained and rinsed |
1 1/2 tablespoons drained capers |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the mustard, then slowly whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the chives and season the lemon-mustard vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss the drained tuna with the sliced celery, butter beans and capers. Add the lemon-mustard vinaigrette and toss to coat the salad. Season the salad with salt and pepper and serve at once.
