Inspired by my nonna Silvia's tuna and bean salad, I grew up eating during my summer days in Italia.

2 marinated red peppers
3 hearts of palm sliced thin
3 artichoke hearts sliced
4 washed romaine leaves
1 can white beans drained and rinced
1/2 lime
capers for garnish
1/4 salt
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
 3 tblsp olive oil

Preparation
Mince onion and place in bowl and soak with rice vinegar, let sit for 10 minutes while preparing the rest.
Meanwhile dice peppers, hearts of palm and artichoke hearts and add to onions.
Add drained and rinsed white beans and sprinkle salt and lemon pepper, mix gently and set aside
Place washed romaine leaves on dish, spoon bean mixture ontop.
Add white tuna on top and squeeze lime, sprinkle and garnish with lemon pepper, olive oil and granish of capers.
