Recipe Notes

I love the contrast of the umami tuna with the sweet and sharp dressing in this salad, and the cucumbers give it a great crunch. Serve this in a leaf of iceberg lettuce to dress it up, if you like. A half serving of this salad would make a great wrap sandwich for lunch.

"One grooming tip that really works is to put cucumber slices on your bloodshot eyes the morning after a long night of partying."
