Southpark's White Bean and Tuna Salad
2 cups dried canellini beans or small white beans, covered with water and soaked
overnight
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1 bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, stems removed, coarsely chopped
2 7-ounce cans bonito tuna or two 6-ounce cans albacore tuna, packed in oil,
drained
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Drain the soaked beans, place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat and cook at a simmer until tender, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Salt only at the end of cooking or the skins will crack.
Pour the beans and cooking liquid into a shallow pan and refrigerate.
After they're cooled, drain the beans and put them into a large bowl. Add the
onion, celery and parsley.
Break the tuna into pieces. Add tuna, oil and vinegar. Toss well, add salt and
pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.
