Easy Tuna Caesar Salad

I love making Caesar Dressing from scratch.  This is an even quicker weeknight version which requires no raw egg, and you get to take a little help from the store.  The tuna gives it a protein kick.

This is an arranged salad.  Everyone takes what they want at the table.  You can eat this with a knife or fork or like a lettuce wrap.  It looks pretty, too. 

The store-bought dressing product used to make this Caesar dressing contains Parmesan Cheese.  The little extra olive oil makes this taste a little richer.  I add fresh grated Romano and lemon juice at the end.
