Chopped Salad al Tonno

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 8 cups chopped hearts of romaine
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives
• 2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna, drained (see Ingredient note)

Directions

Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add romaine, tomatoes and olives; toss to coat. Add tuna and toss again.

Ingredient note: Canned white tuna comes from the large albacore and can be high in mercury content. Chunk light, on the other hand, which comes from smaller fish, skipjack or yellowfin, is best for health-conscious eaters. According to a recent study, canned white tuna samples averaged about 315 percent more mercury than chunk light tuna samples.
