Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, mustard, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust acidity/salt to your liking.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the butter lettuce, tuna, toasted almonds, sliced avocado, and crumbled queso.
