Tuna & Bean Salad

Ingredients:

20 asparagus spears

1 tablespoon capers, drained

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 (15-ounce) can organic white beans, rinsed and drained

4 cups torn butter lettuce (about 1 head)

2 (5-ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in olive oil, drained and broken into chunks

Directions:

Snap off tough ends of asparagus spears. Steam asparagus, covered, for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.

Combine capers and the next 7 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.

Place 1/4 cup juice mixture, cherry tomatoes, and beans in a small bowl; toss gently to combine.

Place 1 cup lettuce on each of 4 plates, and top each serving with 5 asparagus spears. Spoon about 1/2 cup white bean mixture over each serving, and divide tuna evenly among servings. Drizzle each salad with about 1 tablespoon remaining juice mixture.
