FOR THE DRESSING:
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste

FOR THE SALAD:
1 (6-ounce) can or pouch white tuna, drained and broken into chunks
3/4 cup salsa, medium or hot
2 cups thinly sliced Romaine lettuce
8 ounces refrigerated prepared guacamole (about 1 cup)
4 ounces tortilla chips (about 28 chips)

To make the dressing, mix the lemon juice, oil, garlic, and cilantro in a bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the salad, toss the tuna with the dressing. Puree the salsa in a blender or food processor.

Make a circular mound of lettuce on a serving plate. Top with the guacamole, spreading it loosely toward the edge of the lettuce. Mound the tuna in the center, and spoon the salsa over the top, like lava flowing down the cone of a volcano. Surround with the chips to use for scooping.
