The oil in tinned tuna weighs the salad down and smothers the taste of the olive oil. Leave it in a sieve for five minutes to drain, then add your own olive oil. The difference is obvious.

- Dry the lettuce thoroughly, because a wet leaf will not hold the dressing.
- Dress it at the table, as a salad left standing collapses.
