A classic tuna salad usually has lettuce and sweet corn as mains. But we made this one differently, by adding green beans, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes, to make it more satisfying. Still, we have one more secret ingredient! The dressing, which is cooked a little bit on the stove before getting it into the salad.
