Green Bean and Tuna Salad with Basil Dressing

Directions

1. 1.

   Combine shallot, vinegar, and 1 tsp. salt in a blender jar. Let sit 5–10 minutes to lightly pickle.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, cook green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, then run under very cold water until cool to the touch.

3. 3.

   Add basil, oil, lemon juice, and pepper to shallot mixture and blend until mostly smooth. Pour dressing into a large bowl. Add green beans, lettuce, white beans, parsley, and capers and toss with your hands to coat. Add tuna and gently toss to combine. Transfer salad to a platter.
