Place beans in a pot and add &nbsp;water 3 times their level. Soak overnight. (alternatively, if in a rush, &nbsp;bring water to a boil and once a boil is reached, remove pot from heat and cover for about 20 minutes). Either way, rinse and drain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Simmer.&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;Return beans to the pot and add beans, garlic, water, and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer gently until beans are soft. Remove from heat and drain any excess water. Let beans cool to room temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Season<\/span>.&nbsp; Once cool, remove bouquet garni and discard. Beans can be made the day in advance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Make Dressing<\/span>.&nbsp; Place lemon juice, vinegar and mustard in a bowl.

Place tuna in a bowl and break it into smaller chunks with a fork. Combine tuna with avocado, beans, onions, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, tarragon, and dressing.&nbsp; Season to taste with salt and pepper.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Prepare Tomatoes.<\/span> Cut the tops off of the tomatoes. Use a melon baller or a spoon to remove the seeds and the interior of the tomatoes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Stuff<\/span>.
