A friend who used to work at a deli type place made this once and I've loved it ever since. It's one of my ultimate favorite lunches, especially because it's so versatile. The only real essentials in this recipe are lettuce, tuna, and an italian dressing that you love. But the rest add a lot, too:
Ingredients:
- lettuce (not iceberg!)
- 1 can tuna
- Ranch dressing or mayo to mix with tuna (you can also add shredded cheese to the tuna/mayo mix)
- salad add ins: cucumbers, tomatoes, capers (I don't like capers but my friend put them in her salad), green onions, olives, or just whatever you have!!
- Italian Dressing (I love the recipe for Italian Dressing on the salad dressing mixers Brooke gave us all for Christmas last year. Make it with balsamic vinegar. Or Newman's Own Balsamic Vinagrette is good on this, too, or you can even just mix balsamic vinager to oil in equal parts)
After mixing the mayo and tuna, place the tuna on top of the lettuce and salad add-ins. Top with dressing. Mix up the tuna into the dressing to eat, or eat however you like!! Enjoy!

We're going blog crazy! Good idea with the recipes Carrie. That salad sounds really good. I made a new dish tonight for dinner, I'll try to post it tomorrow. It's a manly dish with bacon, beef and beans. It was really good though.
OKay,
I'm so impressed with the picture. I need to figure out how to do that. The salad sounds good too! At our book group yesterday, we had a great egg dish I'll try to get to you all. Mom
Did you take that picture?
Okay, yes I took the picture!! I was feeling a little bored I guess and as I was eating it, I was like, hey, I'm going to post this recipe! So I grabbed the digital camera and thought it'd be cool, you know like the food magazines and stuff!! No pressure, though, we really don't need to post pictures of all our recipes...
