How to make it

  1. 1

    First, let's get those cannellini beans ready. Drain and rinse them really well under cool water.

  2. 2

    Halve your cherry tomatoes and chop up your fresh basil leaves.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, gently combine the rinsed cannellini beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil.

  4. 4

    Now for the lemon: zest the entire lemon, then slice it in half and squeeze out all that lovely juice into the bean mixture. Give it a good stir.

  5. 5

    Next, let's get those tuna steaks perfect. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Season them simply with salt and pepper on both sides.

  6. 6

    Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare, or longer if you prefer them more cooked through.

  7. 7

    Once the tuna is seared to your liking, divide the fresh white bean salad between two plates.

  8. 8

    Top each salad with a beautiful seared tuna steak. Enjoy this light and vibrant meal right away!
