Ingredients

  • 400 g White beans, canned
  • 140 g Tuna (canned in water)
  • 1 pcs Lemon
  • 60 g Pesto
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 pcs Fennel
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper, ground
  • 1 head Radicchio
  • 55 g Arugula, raw

Method

  1. Drain and rinse 2 cans white beans in a fine-mesh strainer. Drain 2 cans tuna into the strainer with the beans, but do not rinse.
  2. Finely grate the zest of 1 medium lemon into a small bowl (about 1 tablespoon zest). Juice the zested lemon into the bowl (about 3 tablespoons juice). Add 1/4 cup basil pesto, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and several grinds black pepper. Whisk well to combine and emulsify. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
  3. Trim the end, stalks and fronds off 1 small fennel bulb. Halve the bulb through the core, very thinly slice it crosswise, and place in a large bowl. Halve 1 small radicchio through the core, then cut the core from each piece. Slice crosswise into thin strips and add it to the bowl.
  4. Add 2 ounces arugula (about 2 packed cups) to the bowl of radicchio. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the pesto vinaigrette and toss to coat. Spread the mixture out on a serving platter or divide among individual shallow bowls or plates.
  5. Place the drained beans and tuna in the now-empty bowl (no need to wipe out). Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the pesto vinaigrette and toss to coat. Spoon the mixture over the radicchio and arugula. Drizzle the remaining pesto vinaigrette over the top. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired, and serve.
