Great Northern beans take center stage in this recipe—their delicate flavor enhanced by a zippy vinaigrette and aromatic sage. The mild-tasting tuna is balanced by the peppery arugula, but if you're not an arugula fan, feel free to use baby spinach or watercress. This salad also features chopped onion, carrots, fresh parsley, capers, extra-virgin olive oil, and white wine vinegar for lots of texture and color. You should also feel free to substitute cannellini (white kidney) beans for the great Northern beans, if you like. You'll love how this beautiful salad comes together in just 15 minutes as well as how easy it is to make.
