Add the green beans and all the other ingredients and toss well. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. Chill before serving.

Judi's Notes: Serve as a salad or eat as a sandwich.

As suggested by the author, I made a couple of open faced sandwiches with
crusty french bread using this mixture. It was delicious. I mixed a little
olive oil, lemon juice, and a clove of minced garlic together and spread it
on the bread, then placed the tuna mixture on top. It serves 2 people but
found the amount not to be enough. Double ingredients if you are hungry!
