Spinach and White Bean Salad with Tuna

By Liz Pearson Fine Cooking Issue 128
Scott Phillips

Servings: 4 as a main course

The bright, fresh combination of endive and spinach makes this salad an elegant lunch or light dinner. Water-packed canned tuna works fine, but oil-packed tuna has a richer, more satisfying flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs. brine-packed capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium clove garlic
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
  • 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 5-oz. cans albacore tuna, drained
  • 1 15-oz. can cannellini or navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 6 oz. (6 packed cups) baby spinach
  • 2 heads red or white Belgian endive, coarsely chopped

    and serve.
