The mixed salad with tuna and beans is a great side dish, but in summer it can become a valid main course, fresh, light, and quick.
In summer, these simple dishes, sometimes obvious that maybe you don’t get the right idea when you need it, I think might come in handy.
Great recipe to take with you for lunch at the office, or to keep without dressing in the fridge and eat it when you return from the beach for lunch.
A salad made up of green salad like lettuce, or mixed, maybe with radicchio, curly, and whatever we like, with the addition of beans, tuna, cucumbers, and onions.
At this point, all that remains is to prepare it and enjoy it.

Ingredients to Make the Mixed Salad with Tuna and Beans
- 10.5 oz green or mixed salad (radicchio, curly endive, and lettuce))
- 1 cucumber (large (about 9 oz))
- 5.6 oz natural tuna
- 1 onion (medium)
- 7 oz canned cannellini beans
- to taste salt
- to taste white wine vinegar
- 0.8 cup white wine vinegar (for marinating)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation of the Mixed Salad with Tuna and Beans
First, wash the canned beans well, drain them, put them in a bowl, and cover them with vinegar, leaving them this way for at least 10-15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, cut the salad and wash it thoroughly, letting it drain.
In a large bowl, where we will put the complete salad, slice the cucumber (after removing the peel), slice the onion thinly, add the can of tuna previously well-drained.
Leave everything in the bowl and move it temporarily to the fridge while we complete the rest.
Meanwhile, drain the beans and leave them for at least 10 minutes, enough time for the vinegar to drain well.
At this point, also add the beans to the salad and dress everything with oil, salt, and a splash of vinegar if you like.
Mix everything well and enjoy your meal.
