4 cups shredded lettuce |

3 eggs
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese |
Layer salad
ingredients and let stand overnight in refrigerator. Mix

Tuna Salad
Submitted
by: Barbiel |
4 cups mixed fresh greens
1/4 pound fresh green beans
12 ounces tuna (the new packets are nice)
2 tablespoons capers (optional)
1 can (15 ounces) white beans, any type |
1 large tomato, chopped
12 ripe Greek olives
snipped fresh chives
1/4 cup Italian dressing (your preference)
salt and pepper to taste |
Cook the green
beans in lightly salted water about 5 minutes or until just
tender, drain. Rinse with very cold water and drain again. Place
the greens on a platter with the beans in the center. Rinse and
drain the beans, then arrange with the, tuna, and olives around
those. Top with the capers and chives. Serve with the dressing.
Serves 4-6.
Note: This salad often doesn't have greens but I really
like it this way. One can leave off the beans, if desired. |
