Chef Tip(s):
Tuna, potatoes, and beans can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and kept covered and chilled.

Option(s):
Wine pairing: Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc Napa. In France, this meal is served with a Sauvignon Blanc; Mondavi coined the Fume name for his Sauv Blanc. The wine's rich roundness and slight citric tang marry well with the vinegary components in the dish.
