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.

Hi, I'm 31 and cooking and living in England. I was born in Germany and that's where I grew up and lived until I came to the UK to go to University in 1998.
I never went back to live in Germany, even though all my family is still there.
