Time: 20 minutes. No bread is involved, but this is hearty enough for a quick weeknight meal--and makes great use of vine-ripened tomatoes.

Step 1
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and chives. Add parsley leaves, beans, tuna, and onions and stir gently just until coated.
Step 2
2
Arrange tomato slices on 4 plates and spoon tuna mixture on top, dividing evenly. Top each salad with a few parsley leaves if you like.
