Salad:
- 1 can tuna, water-packed, strained
- 14oz can white kidney beans, strained and rinsed
- 1 cup green beans
- 4 cups arugula, well packed
- 1 cup radicchio, roughly chopped

Instructions
- In a small jar or bowl, combine the dressing ingredients, whisk together and set aside.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and fill a seperate bowl with ice cold water. Once the water in the pot is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green in colour. Once cooked, remove them from the boiling water and submerge them immediately in cold water.
- While the green beans are cooling, prepare the rest of the salad. In one large bowl or two seperate bowls, combine arugula, radicchio, red onion and cherry tomatoes.
- Once beans have cooled, pat them dry and add them to the salad with tuna and white beans. Cover salad with dressing and toss gently to combine.
