TUNA CAESAR SALAD
By replacing most of the oil in a classic Caesar salad dressing with a purée of canned tuna we decrease the fat and increase the protein by eight times. The resulting dressing can makeover a simple green salad into a entrée that delivers protein, and transforms a popular creamy vinaigrette into a versatile cooking sauce.

[email protected]I would give this recipe a 5-star rating, but I found the dressing to be a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt.
