Ingredients
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup cooked great Northern white beans
- 1 (5 to 6-ounce) can light tuna, packed in oil, drained
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
- 1/2 long baguette, cut into cubes (slightly stale works great)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil leaves (or oregano)
Directions
In medium serving bowl, add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit for 10 minutes before adding the beans, tuna, shallots and olives. Just before serving, mix in the bread cubes and combine gently.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle in the oil, whisking to blend. Pour over the salad just before serving. Add the basil and toss. Taste for seasoning before serving.

I actually like tuna and my husband made out this menu that we follow. And 2nd Tuesday is Tuna night, I dreaded it. I told him I love tuna, but I just don't want it. I tried this recipe and I am in love with it! Thanks Melissa!

this was one of those amazing discoveries that come along too seldom. the tuna was light and tasty, the olives and shallots taste delights,the entire package wonderful. i made it for lunch after watching the show and the next day had all the correct ingredients and made it for dinner. my husband practically licked the plate. all of the ingredients are important, especially the beans. i did use canned diced tomatoes but they were probably a better choice in the middle of winter in the midwest. i added a chopped granny smith apple and a few capers. everything came together so beautifully, there was nothing glaringly in charge. i will make this as often as i can!
