Keep convenience foods such as canned tuna and canned bans in your pantry for quick and easy, no-cook entrees like this dinner salad. Toss in other veggies if you've got them on hand - cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and shredded carrots are all wonderful additions. Serve with thinly sliced toasted baguette crostini topped with home-made salsa or fresh, refrigerated, store-bought salsa that's been drained.
