Tuna-Vegetable Salad with Lemon Dressing
A fresh vegetable salad topped with tuna and a homemade mayonaise dressing.
Ingredients
For the Tuna-Vegetable Salad:
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 8 ounces canned tuna filets (I used 2 cans of Natural Catch White Albacore Tuna Filets)
- 1 cucumber, sliced into ribbons
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup radishes, halved
- ¼ cup minced red onion
For the Lemon Dressing:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp. crushed garlic
- ½ tsp. sea salt flakes
- 3 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- First, assemble the Salad: spread the lettuce out on a large platter and top it with the rest of the salad ingredients. Chill until serving.
- Next, make the Lemon Dressing: In a small, deep bowl whisk together everything but the two oils. Then, slowly whisk in the oils, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is emulsified. Chill until serving and then drizzle as much as you like on to the salad.
