The Best Spanish White Bean & Tuna Salad Recipe

Video Description

This Mediterranean white bean salad is cool, delicious, light, simple and easy to make. 📖 Full recipe at: https://www.garysurbanlarder.com/recipe/white-bean-salad Rooted in ensalada de alubias blancas, this Mediterranean-style white bean and tuna salad is more than refreshing, it holds its form. Creamy white beans, oil-packed tuna, crisp summer vegetables, and a bold sherry vinaigrette with cooked egg yolk and coarse Dijon mustard. It all happens in one bowl: start with the vinaigrette, then fold in the beans, chopped veg, and tuna. Toss, chill, serve. That’s it. I use soaked, cooked dried beans — but canned white beans (rinsed and drained) work perfectly too. Whether you call it Spanish white bean salad, tuna and bean salad, or summer bean salad, this is the version I make when I want something cold, complete, and deeply satisfying. ✅ You’ll learn how to: • Build a bold vinaigrette with sherry vinegar, egg yolk & mustard • Balance creamy white beans with tuna and fresh summer crunch • Layer bell peppers, cucumber, plum tomatoes & red onion for snap and color • Finish with celery seed and serve cold, like they do by the sea 🌊 Rooted in tradition — made the way I remember eating it: with sun, sea, and satisfaction. 🕒 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:16 Making the Vinaigrette 01:34 Adding the Beans & Veggies 03:08 Tuna & Final Toss 04:00 The Taste Test 04:47 Thank You & Subscribe 📍Filmed in Olvera, Spain — where summer meals are served cold, but warmly remembered. ✨ Subscribe to @GarysUrbanLarder for food that remembers. 🧾 Join The Larder Notes for weekly recipes & reflections → https://thelardernotes.substack.com ☕ Support the channel → https://coff.ee/garysurbanlarder © 2025 Gary R.
