Ingredients

Makes 6 main-course servings

　　1 garlic clove

　　3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　3/4 teaspoon salt

　　1/2 teaspoon black pepper

　　1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　1 (15- to 19-oz) can cannellini or other white beans, drained and rinsed

　　1 (1-lb) seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices

　　1 lb tomatoes (3 medium), cut into 1-inch pieces

　　1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

　　2 (6-oz) cans tuna packed in oil (preferably olive oil), drained

　　

Step 1

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Whisk together garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Gently toss beans, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley with half of dressing. Transfer to a platter or bowl and arrange tuna on top, breaking up any large pieces with a fork. Drizzle remaining dressing over tuna.
