How to make Tuna & White Bean Salad

Tips from the cook

  • Drain the tuna and rinse the beans well, so the salad does not turn watery or taste of the tin.
  • Chop the celery and spring onion small, so they spread evenly through the beans.
  • Serve it on toasted bread or stuffed into a pitta for a quick lunch.
  • No artichokes? Swap in chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
