Ingredients:

Serving

2 6- oz cans tuna packed in oil
3 cups drained and rinsed canned white beans , preferably cannellini (from two 15-oz cans)
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp drained capers
2 bunches watercress (about 3/4 lb), tough stems removed and leaves chopped (about 2 quarts)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red- or white-wine vinegar
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh-ground black pepper

Directions:

Put the tuna with its oil, the beans, onion, capers, watercress, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Variations: · Use arugula instead of the watercress.: · Try canned sardines instead of the tuna.
Wine Recommendation: Vernaccia di San Gimignano, from the vineyards surrounding the oft-pictured hilltop town of San Gimignano, is a refreshing and racy wine. Its subtle almond flavors will blend well with the earthiness of the beans.
Notes: Since there are so few ingredients in this simple salad, you'll want to use really good canned beans; lower-quality beans are mushy. Among the many fine brands, we find Goya to be consistently reliable. If your tuna has less than one-and-a-half tablespoons of oil per can, add a little extra olive oil to make up the difference. We're counting on that much oil as part of the dressing.
