Great recipes. @134672, I'm gonna try this tomorrow night. I think I'll use spinach for the lettuce. Thank you!

Leah, Your recipe sounds like the classic Nicoise...and like 672 does, I opt for a really good quality oil packed tuna. They used to have a jarred one at T.J.'s, no longer, now I go toTino's or Renato's and buy the imported Italian ones...very good substitute for grilled tuna...while you're there, pick up a can of the giant butter beans to throw on the salad in lieu of potatoes. I dress my salads with a little bit of lemon and EVOO...yum!
