Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the tuna, reserving the olive oil in a separate small bowl. Break tuna into bite-size pieces with a large fork. Add the beans and capers. Into the bowl of olive oil, add the red wine vinegar. You should have 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil - add more extra-virgin olive oil if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing on the tuna, bean and caper mixture and allow the flavors to infuse while slicing the vegetables. Add the onion and tomatoes to tuna mixture and toss gently.
- Place the arugula on large decorative platter and top with tuna mixture. Tear fresh basil leaves over the top and serve immediately.
SEARED TUNA, WHITE BEAN AND FENNEL SALAD
Rich tuna and creamy white beans are the foundations of a favorite warm-weather Mediterranean salad, often accented with tomatoes and onion. Here, well-seasoned tuna fillet is instead seared rare in a cast-iron skillet, though it could also be grilled over hot coals. But feel free to use best-quality canned tuna, and skip the cooking altogether. The crisp, thinly sliced fennel adds freshness and mirrors the fennel seed in the seasoning.

Steps:
- Season tuna generously on both sides with salt, then sprinkle with the black pepper, fennel seed and pollen (if using). Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and rub the seasoning into the fillets with your hands. Set aside at room temperature.
- Peel and dice the onion and soak in ice water for 10 minutes (this will tame its bite). Drain the beans and put in a bowl. Add a generous sprinkling of salt and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and stir. Drain onions and add to beans. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and set aside at room temperature.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the lemon zest, garlic, a pinch of salt, crushed red pepper and 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- Place a wide cast iron pan over high heat. When it is hot, add tuna. Cook for about 2 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Take care not to let the spices scorch; reduce the heat if necessary. The exterior of the fish will be cooked, but the interior will be quite rare. For medium-rare, cook an additional 2 minutes on the second side. Remove from pan and transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- Using a very sharp knife or mandoline, slice fennel crosswise into very thin slices. Salt lightly and toss with dressing. Arrange dressed fennel around the edge of the platter, surrounding the beans.
- Cut the tuna in ½-inch slices and arrange over beans. Sprinkle with parsley and fennel fronds and serve at room temperature.

This is from a book called _Culinary Journey to the Mediterranean. You can serve this with pita bread or pita chips, and/or on a bed of arugula or watercress.

GIADA DE LAURENTIIS' WHITE BEAN AND TUNA SALAD
This is a traditional combination in Italy and makes a wonderful full-meal salad. Tuna packed in oil, though hard to find anymore, makes a difference in this salad. Try it at least once this way! You may want to chill the ingredients somewhat in the refrigerator before assembling salad.

LARGE WHITE BEAN, TUNA AND SPINACH SALAD
You could use canned cannellini beans for this, but I love the size and texture of large white limas. I don't soak limas because the skins tend to detach and the beans fall apart when you cook them. You want them intact for this, but you also need to make sure to cook them all the way through.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans and combine with the water in a soup pot. Add the halved onion, the crushed garlic cloves, the bay leaf and the sage leaves. Bring to a gentle boil, add salt to taste, cover and boil very gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beans are tender (sometimes they take longer, about 2 hours; it depends in part on the age of the beans). Remove from the heat. Set a colander over a bowl and drain the beans. Discard the bay leaf, onion, garlic cloves and sage. Some of the beans will have slipped out of their skins and fallen apart, but most should be intact. The broth can be used for a soup or pasta sauce.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spinach and the dressing. Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, minced or puréed garlic, mustard, salt to taste and the olive oil.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the beans and the tuna. Don't worry if some of the lima beans fall apart. Add the mint, half the chives and half the dressing and toss again. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss the spinach with the remaining dressing. Line a platter or wide bowl with the spinach, top with the tuna, and sprinkle the remaining chives over the top. Garnish with red onions and black olives if desired, and serve.
