Gail's special salad

This has been my mother's go-to salad since the Cretaceous period. She makes it slightly differently but the following is my way. Amounts are variable according to your taste and what you have around.

For one very large serving (this is something to really fill you up without a lot of calories):

Lettuce (cut or torn bite-size; I use red leaf lettuce and plenty of it)
Several scallions, chopped
A chunk of cucumber, seeded and sliced
Several large radishes, sliced
Half a large tomato or a whole small one, cut in chunks
A hard-boiled egg, mashed with a fork (salad is still good without this)
A 3 oz. can of Italian chunk light tuna in olive oil, flaked but not drained
White wine vinegar to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all of the above in a bowl. Eat it.
