Directions
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, onion powder, and salt in a medium bowl to make a dressing.
- Trim and finely dice the celery; fold it into the dressing.
- Quarter, core, and small-dice the apple, then add it and the dried cranberries to the bowl with the dressing.
- Drain the tuna and break it into bite-sized pieces; mix into the bowl to combine the tuna salad. Set aside.
- Roughly chop the romaine hearts and place in a separate bowl with the walnuts. Add a bit more cranberries, dressing, and salt, then toss to coat the greens.
- Toast the bread slices under a broiler until lightly browned, flipping halfway, about 2 minutes. If you prefer, use a toaster.
- Pile the tuna salad onto the toast plates and serve with the dressed romaine salad on the side.
Two tips
- Prep the celery, apple, and greens up to 1 day ahead for quicker assembly.
- For a lighter version, swap plain Greek yogurt for part of the mayo, and serve the salad with extra greens on the side.
