Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna lightly with a fork.
Add mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Prepare the composed salad ingredients. Wash and dry the baby arugula, slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the hard-boiled eggs, and thinly slice the radishes.
On a large serving platter, arrange the baby arugula in an even layer as the base.
Neatly arrange the cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and radish slices in groups around the edges of the platter, leaving space in the center for the tuna salad.
Scoop the prepared tuna salad into the center of the platter, forming a mound.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, whole grain mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a simple vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the arranged vegetables and arugula.
Serve immediately as a composed salad. Each person can mix components as desired on their plate.
