This salad has a great mix of flavors. It can very well be a main course which is how I eat it. You can make it vegan simply by omitting the tuna.

Instructions
- To make black olive vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, olives, shallot and garlic.
- To make salad: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and butter, and cook until sauce becomes creamy and tomatoes soften, 1-2 minutes. Add beans, parsley and oregano to skillet. Cook until warmed though, about 1 minute, no longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
