Method

  1. Trim and halve the green beans. Halve the tomatoes, slice the onion thinly, and drain the tuna and beans.
  2. Boil the green beans for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. [Source step duration: 5 min]
  3. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper. Toss with the cannellini beans, green beans, tomatoes, onion and parsley.
  4. Divide the rocket between two plates, top with the bean salad and flake the tuna over the top.
  5. Allergen declaration (ingredient-based): Fish
  6. Storage: Refrigerate without the rocket for up to 2 days. Add the rocket just before serving. Keep the fridge at 5°C or below. Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours (within 1 hour for the rice/quinoa instructions). Where reheating, reheat only once until steaming hot throughout. Observe any shorter product limit.

Why it fits

Tuna brings fish protein and white beans add a legume to this salad. Green beans, tomatoes and rocket contribute a range of vegetables.
