Drain the tuna. Trim and wash the lettuce, spin dry, and tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and trim the tomatoes, then halve or quarter them. Peel the onions and slice them thinly. For the dressing, mix the balsamic vinegar with the mustard, a little salt, some freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of sugar, and a little lemon juice or zest, if desired.
