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.
