8-15-07 well i thought this was excellent BUT mom didn't like it!!!
pretty easy to make after you find the olives......

When folding the ingredients together, work from underneath with your
spatula. DonĘt press down on top, because that will break up the tuna
and make the texture of the dish mealy.

1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each)
cannellini beans, rinsed,
drained and patted dry
1 small red onion, halved
lengthwise and slivered
1/2 cup pitted and coarsely chopped Nitoise olives
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna packed in water, drained

1. Prepare the vinaigrette: Whisk together the garlic, mustard, sugar,
salt, pepper and vinegar in a bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly
drizzle in the oil and continue whisking until thickened. Set aside.

2. Combine the beans, red onion, olives and parsley in a large bowl.
Coarsely flake the tuna into the bowl and add the reserved
vinaigrette. Using a large rubber spatula, carefully fold the
ingredients together until they are just combined, without breaking up
the tuna.
