Looking for a good summer salad recipe? I love the colors and flavors in this salad! The mix of potato, tuna, green beans, onions, lettuce and tomatoes make this salad the perfect summer lunch. If you want a vegetarian version, just omit the tuna.
Buen provecho!

2 cups lettuce
1 cup cooked green beans, cut into pieces
2 cups red potaoes, cooked and diced
1 large tomato, diced
1 tuna can, drained

1/4 cup chopped onion
Dressing:
Juice of 2 lemons
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon whine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
