- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, celery, olives and roasted peppers in a medium bowl.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then fry the sage leaves until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes; drain on paper towels.
- Reserve the oil.
- Break the tuna into large chunks and divide among shallow bowls.
- Spoon the bean mixture around the tuna and top with the olive salad and fried sage.
- Drizzle with the reserved sage oil and season with salt.
