Tuna White Bean Puttanesca

This healthy, tasty, high-protein lunch is a flavor-popping way to amp up a standard salad. Each component brings its own bold flavor and texture. The sun-dried tomatoes add just the right sweetness and chew, while cannellini beans provide fiber and protein with a creamy mouthfeel, olives for that briny touch, and a can of tuna flaked into the salad rounds out the sock-it-to-me flavors.

Author's Notes

I grilled the radicchio to get some smoky flavors into the salad - but it's not required for this recipe. If you'd prefer, just skip oiling and grilling the lettuce and slice it into 1/2" pieces. Continue with the recipe.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the grill to medium high or use a grill pan.
step 2
Place the Radicchio (1 head) on a cutting board and cut in quarters vertically, through the core. Drizzle cut sides with 1/2 teaspoon of Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) each.
step 3
Grill the radicchio 1-2 minutes per side just to get a little char and smoke.
step 4
Remove from grill and cut away the core. Slice radicchio into 1/2" slices and transfer to a large bowl.

Just before serving, chiffonade the Fresh Basil (3/4 cup) by stacking the leaves on top of one another and rolling tightly into a cigar shape. Use a sharp knife to very thinly slice the basil crosswise into thin strips.
