This hearty tuna salad combines crisp cucumber, leafy greens, sweet corn, hard-boiled eggs and salty feta with lemon dressing. Drain the tuna and corn well to keep the greens fresh and crisp. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cover, turn off heat and stand 10 to 12 minutes. Cool, peel and quarter. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
