Warm Tuna and Bean Salad

"I got this recipe when I was at a crafts fair in Scotland. There was a cooking demonstration in the old fish market hall by the harbour, you could taste the food and get the recipe. I love having tuna salad during the summer months, when it's to warm to cook and all you want is a light meal. If you don't want to make your own dressing it's also nice with French Dressing."

  1. Excellent way to serve tuna and you can enjoy it warm or cold. I followed exactly the directions, except for cooking the tuna. I have seared it before cutting it into cubes. I like the use of red onion, because it is more delicate in taste than yellow onions. The tomatoes and cucumber add a wonderful fresh note (and I think the salad could be chilled in summer to support this fresh note). The beans melt all the different flavors and are an excellent counterpart for the tuna. I would suggest to use this dressing, because the fresh herbs are fantastic. I like this salad, because it is easy to make and full of flavors. And it is a fantastic way to serve very fresh tuna.
