Serves

The quantities follow this count.

30 oz canned white beans, drained and rinsed
10 oz canned tuna in olive oil, drained
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Combine the white beans, flaked tuna, and red onion in a bowl.
Whisk the vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the beans and tuna and toss gently, taking care not to break up the beans too much.
Stir in the parsley and let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving, chilled or at room temperature; a distinct Spanish summer supper component, not the mayonnaise-bound Ensaladilla Rusa.
