Tuna and Tomato Salad with Sunflower Seeds

  • 8 cups romaine lettuce
  • 3 small tomatoes or a handful of cherry tomatoes, diced in medium sized pieces

  • 2 T thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup your favorite Ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup your favorite Vinaigrette dressing

Directions

Put the tuna (I used my favorite tuna packed in olive oil) in a small strainer and let it drain well while you prep the other ingredients.Tear lettuce, wash well in salad spinner and spin until dry (or dry with paper towels if you don’t have a salad spinner).Cut the tomatoes, chop capers, and thinly slice green onions.Mix ranch and vinaigrette dressing.Put the drained tuna into a small bowl, and mix about 3 tablespoons of the dressing into the tuna, then mix in capers and green onions.Put the washed and dried lettuce into a large salad bowl and toss with enough dressing to moisten the lettuce. (You may not need all the dressing.)Add tuna mixture and toss with the lettuce.Add tomatoes and sunflower seeds to the top of the salad and serve.
