Canned Tuna - Tuna-Garbanzo Salad
4 servings (serving size: about 2 cups salad and 2 toasts)

    2 quarts water
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups (1-inch) cut green beans (about 1/2 pound)
    1/4 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 medium)
    2 fire-roasted piquillo peppers, chopped
    1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
    1 garlic clove, minced
    3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
    1 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika
    4 cups arugula
    1 (7.8-ounce) jar premium tuna, packed in oil, drained and flaked
    1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
    8 (1-ounce) slices French bread

    Preheat broiler.
    Bring 2 quarts water and salt to a boil. Add green beans; cook 4 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain. Combine green beans, shallots, peppers, chickpeas, and garlic in a large bowl.
    Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, and paprika in a small bowl, stirring well. Add mayonnaise mixture to bean mixture; toss gently to combine. Arrange 1 cup arugula on each of 4 plates; top each serving with about 1 cup bean mixture. Divide tuna evenly among plates.
    Sprinkle cheese evenly over bread slices; place bread on a baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Serve toasts with salad.
