Carlin Pea + Tuna Salad
Fagioli e tonno, or bean + tuna salad, is a classic dish from Tuscany - and is about as quick, simple + DELICIOUS as you can get! It's traditionally made using white beans, but we've subbed in our Queen Carlin Peas - inspired by chef Mike Davies - to add a nutty twist.It's generally served as an antipasti, but can equally be a hearty salad for lunch in its own right.
