Our answer

Nigella's Tuna And Beans (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) is a speedy supper made from storecupboard ingredients. In hot weather it is an ideal no-cook dish than only needs good bread to go alongside.

Nigella does not specify what type of canned tuna to use as everyone has their own favourites and we prefer not recommend any particular brand as availability can vary. Tuna canned in water can sometimes feel a little dry so if possible use tuna canned (or in a jar) in oil and buy the best quality that your budget will allow. If you are able to buy tuna canned with olive oil then you can always use some of the oil drained from the can to dress the salad.
