Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is sustainably caught and packed in water or olive oil.
- If you don't have any anchovies on hand, you can substitute Worcestershire sauce.
- To make a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the tuna and add some grilled or roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought croutons. But if you have a few extra minutes, making your own croutons is easy and adds a nice touch to the salad.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk together the ingredients and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This salad is best served immediately after it's made, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
