  • ½ cup olive oil extra virgin

  • 1/3 cup kale chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup arugula chopped
  • 1/3 cup flat Italian parsley chopped
  • Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt and more extra virgin olive oil to taste

  • Drain the tuna and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add beans and stir gently to combine.
  • Add olive oil, onions, lemon zest and juice, kale, arugula, parsley and mix to combine.
