Food Revolution 'Evolution Tomato Salad'

Today's 'pass it on' recipe is the evolution salad. This salad is perfect for summer, it's light and full of a variety of flavors- it's awesome.
Serves 4.
1. Get yourself about 1 1/2 lbs of ripe grape or cherry, vine and regular tomatoes. Cut the larger tomatoes into wedges, halve the grape or cherry tomatoes, and leave the smaller ones whole. Put the into a bowl with 6 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar. Toss well and coat all of the tomatoes with the dressing. Pick the leaves off of a few sprigs of fresh basil and scatter them over the salad. Season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Put a large handful of black olives on a clean surface and press down on them with the palm of your hand to remove the pits. Discard the pit and add the olives to the salad. Mix up well in a bowl before serving on plates.
3. Drain a 15-oz can of cannellini beans into a colander and add to the tomato salad. Mix up well to coat everything with the dressing.
4. Drain a small can or jar of tuna, break the fish into flakes or chunks and scatter over the salad.

So I skipped on the tuna this time, but you could also substitute it with canned chicken, or even diced tofu if you want to keep the extra protein in the salad. Hope you enjoy, and be sure to 'pass it on'. :)
