Instructions
- Place lettuce, ⅔ of each tuna, parmesan cheese and croutons in a large or medium bowl.

Notes
1. I used this homemade Caesar Salad Dressing Without Anchovies for this salad.
2. Light chunk tuna such as Skipjack works best for this salad but if you prefer white tuna (Albacore), you can also use it.
3. This salad makes 4 servings of a side or appetizer sized salad or 2 servings of dinner salad.
4. Fresh veggies such as cherry tomatoes, chopped bell peppers, cucumber and onions are also delicious in this salad.
