Preparing Tuna

Begin by draining the canned tuna and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Flakify the tuna using a fork to ensure it's evenly broken apart for easier mixing with the other ingredients.

Chopping Vegetables

Wash the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into thin pieces. Add these to the bowl with the tuna.

Making the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and mustard until well combined. This will be your dressing. Adjust the quantities as per taste preference and dietary needs.

Combining Ingredients

Pour the dressing over the tuna and vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Garnishing

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish. Serve immediately or chill before serving for a more refreshing taste.
