1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed

3/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Romain lettuce and tomatoes, for serving

Directions:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, tarragon, ground red pepper, and salt.
  • Fold in flaked tuna and white beans.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Serve over Romain lettuce leaves with sliced tomato, if ya like!
