"This makes a light salad that goes together quickly and is nice during the summer.Serve it on lettuce with some crusty rolls on the side and a good glass of white wine. Don't bother to peel the potatoes. Top the beans, but don't tail them.Originally from the food section of the Houston Chronicle."

ingredients

5 -6 medium boiling potatoes, such as Yukon gold or 5 -6 medium Red Bliss potatoes
2 cups green beans, topped and cut in half
1 (19 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 scallions, chopped (including the green parts)
1 (16 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or to taste)
1 tomatoes, chopped or 6 -8 cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¹⁄₂ lemon
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

directions

Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Bring to a boil in a medium pot filled with salted water.
Cook at a boil for about 10 minutes.
When the potatoes are nearly tender, add the green beans and continue to boil until the potatoes are fork-tender and the beans are bright green.
Drain in the sink in a colander.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, gently stir together the cannelini beans, scallions, tuna, capers, and oregano.
Add the potatoes and green beans- they don't need to cool- and the tomatoes.
Add the oil and toss gently until the ingredients are slick.
Squeeze the lemon half over all and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve.
