Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Canned tuna varies massively and you generally get what you pay for. The Spanish seem to have the knack of preserving tuna and even make a good job of designing the tins. I have added mojama, Spanish air-dried tuna, which is somewhere between beef jerky and bresaola in texture. You don't need much of it and all you have to do is slice it thinly.

1 x 200g can of good quality tuna in olive oil, drained and oil reserved
A handful of picked herbs like flat parsley, chervil, chives and basil, washed and dried
60-70g small salad leaves, like red chard, baby spinach, land cress, small radicchio or treviso, washed and dried
70-80g cooked small white beans (I used Spanish arrocina but risini, haricot de coco or cannellini would do), drained and washed if canned
20-30g mojama (optional), thinly sliced
for the dressing
2tbsp good quality white wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
8tbsp extra virgin olive oil (including what was drained from the tuna can)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together and seasoning, then mix with half the beans. To assemble the salad, toss the leaves in the rest of the dressing and season, then arrange on plates and spoon over the beans, mixing them into the leaves a little. Scatter flakes of tuna on top with the slices of mojama (optional);scatter the herbs over.
