    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup snipped chives
    Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    Four 3 1/2-ounce cans Italian tuna in olive oil, drained

    Two 15-ounce cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
    1 1/2 tablespoons drained capers

    In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the mustard, then slowly whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the chives and season the lemon-mustard vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
