Equipment

Directions
Remove the tuna from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.
Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
Mix together the fennel, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the tuna with canola oil on both sides and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to medium doneness, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut into medium dice.
Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, rosemary, anchovies and garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking, until it all emulsifies. For a sweeter and thicker texture, whisk in a teaspoon of honey at a time, until desired taste and consistency is reached.
Combine the beans, olives, fennel, onion and tuna in a large bowl.
Add the dressing and gently toss to coat.
Add the greens, basil and parsley , season with salt and pepper, and toss again.
For serving: Mound the salad on a platter and sprinkle the remaining lemon juice over the top.
