    Prepare the Beans

    Blanch the summer beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

    Combine the Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), blanched summer beans, diced peaches, and halved cherry tomatoes. Gently toss to combine.

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh basil until well combined.

  2. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.

Serving

  1. 5
