1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 (12 ounce) can tuna, packed in water, drained and flaked
1/2 cup canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1
Coarsely chop the watercress stems until you have 1/2 cup. Rinse and dry the remaining watercress sprigs and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped stems, water, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the watercress stems are bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the tuna, beans, onion, and roasted pepper to the bowl and toss to blend.
