Meh - this was just ok. I didn't find the Italian tuna but purchased the highest quality tuna I could at New Seasons. If I were to make it again, I'd probably warm the beans a little bit to soften them up as I didn't care for the texture of them at room temp. I'd also sub feta for the parm-reg. DH wasn't too keen on having it again. DD wouldn't even touch it.

- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
- 2 (6-ounce) cans Italian tuna packed in olive oil, drained and broken into chunks
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (5-ounce) package fresh baby arugula

- Wine note: Terredora Di Paola Falanghina 2008 ($16) is a crisp and citrusy white with acidity to cut the flavorful oil in this salad. Light body and mineral nuance pair well with tuna, while a slightly peppery finish matches the herbaceous arugula. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
