I made this for Mother's Day lunch, and it was a huge hit. Light enough for a warm Spring day yet filling.

Made it as described in the recipe. It was a hit with the whole family, including a finicky 13 yo. Grilled tuna steaks 2.5 minutes per side and they were perfect for flaking into the salad. Mashed anchovies into the dressing and added to the top as well. Delicious
