Fast-track a caesar salad by using your favourite store-bought dressing as the base. Load it up with healthy garden-fresh veggies and canned tuna for a protein-rich meal.
Ingredients
1/4 cup creamy caesar dressing
1/2 lemon
1 to 2 anchovies
1 tsp capers, drained
1 garlic clove, minced
1 heart of romaine
1/2 English cucumber
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup pitted black olives
170-g can tuna, drained
Instructions
Pour dressing into a measuring cup. Squeeze in 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice. Coarsely chop anchovies and stir in with capers and garlic.
Tear or slice romaine into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Peel cucumber, only if you wish. Slice in half lengthwise. Using the tip of a spoon, scrape out and discard seeds. Then thinly slice cucumber. Add to lettuce with tomato and olives. Crumble in tuna. Pour in dressing and toss to evenly coat.

Shopping Tip
In the supermarket, look for albacore tuna, usually marked "white" on the label. It contains more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid than other types.
