Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds slender green beans, trimmed, halved crosswise
- 3 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
- 2 large red potatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 9 ounces canned tuna packed in oil, drained
Directions
Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Using a mesh strainer, transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water to cool completely. Drain the green beans and pat dry with a towel.
Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the same cooking liquid and bring the liquid to a simmer. Add the potatoes to the simmering liquid and cook until they are just tender but still hold their shape, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to the ice water to cool completely. Drain the potatoes and pat dry with a towel.
In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, garlic, oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the tomatoes, basil and parsley in a large serving bowl. Add the tuna and toss gently to combine. Add the green beans and potatoes and gently combine. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

My husband is not a big fan of tuna but when I made this for myself and the grandkid's for lunch he thought he would try it and to my surprise he loved it! I will be making this easy recipe again .
