Method

  1. Place the cannellini beans in a large bowl and gently mash a small portion with a fork to create a slightly creamier texture.

  2. Add the rocket, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and black pepper.

  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and beans, then toss gently.

  5. Divide the mixture between two serving bowls.

  6. Flake the tuna over the top and finish with shaved Parmesan and fresh basil.

  7. Serve immediately while the rocket is fresh and crisp.

Chef's Tip

Do not overmix the tuna into the salad. Adding it at the end keeps the pieces intact and gives the bowl a more appealing texture. For extra flavour, allow the beans to sit in the lemon and olive oil dressing for 5 minutes before assembling.
