Simple Summer Suppers ~ SEAFOOD SALAD & PARMESAN CHEESE ROLLS

This recipe is from my mother-in-law. She told the story that it was something she would make at the end of the month when funds were short because it was cheap.  Cheap works though!  This is one of the most flavorful salads and always a family favorite.  The rolls date back to hubby’s grandfather’s Beverly Hills restaurant, The Castle from MANY years ago.

SEAFOOD SALAD
Green leaf lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
2 bunches green onions, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 can albacore tuna IN OIL, drained VERY WELL

1/4 cup mayonnaise
FRESH ground salt & pepper, to taste

  • In a large bowl mix together the lettuce, green onions and tomatoes.
