- Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well; pour all but 2 Tbsp. into a large serving bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler or possibly grill. Bring 4 qts of water to a boil in a large pan. Add in the beans and boil 4 min. Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and run under cool water to chill. Cut the beans into 1-inch pcs and set aside.
- Bring the water back to a boil (add in 1 tsp. salt to water if you like), add in the pasta and boil uncovered till tender, 10 to 12 min. Drain; run under cool water till completely chilled. Drain well.
- Brush the tuna with 1 Tbsp. of the remaining vinaigrette. Broil 1 to 2 inches from the heat for 3 min. Turn and broil till the tuna is light pink in the center, 2 to 3 min longer. (Alternatively, grill 6 to 8 inches above warm coals, turning once, 2 to 3 min per side). Set aside to cold.
- Add in the pasta to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Stir in the beans, cheese, basil, green onions and olives. Slice the tuna into very thin strips and toss with the remaining Tbsp. of vinaigrette. Very gently stir the tuna into the salad, then spoon the salad onto a serving platter or possibly individual plates. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: Seafood in this salad can be either warm or possibly chilled, so its a great way to use leftover seafood. Why not plan to cook extra seafood one night, so which you can make this easy recipe next
