Salad Season

It's the best time of the year to make a salad!  Optimally you will grow your own lettuce or you will stop by the farmer's market or your local farm stand.  Lettuce is so much more delicate and tasty when it is local and in-season.  Pictured above is another salad idea: tuna, almonds, and avocado on romaine lettuce, tossed with a Vinaigrette.   I used canned tuna and to keep it from tasting dry I mixed it with a little vegetable based mayonniase, the brand is Vegenaise.
