Open one can of tuna, drain the oil, and place the tuna in a separate bowl, flaking it with a fork while keeping nice chunks.

Use half a cup of pitted castelvetrano olives, crack them open using a mallet or spoon, and add to the bowl with the tuna and cannellini beans, mixing gently.

In a large bowl, add 4 ounces of washed baby arugula and the juice of half a lemon, along with the oil from the tuna and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper, then toss to dress the salad.

Top the arugula with the bean mixture for presentation, or mix everything together if preferred, and finish with a snowfall of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
