This may rank as the simplest salad of all time. You can cook your own beans, and fry off fresh tuna, but the dish is just as good with canned beans and tinned tuna (see notes). The red onions and beans mark this dish out as solidly Tuscan. Try one of our other Tuscan bean salads here: insalata Toscana.
