Mediterranean Tuna Salad
March 12, 2021
Tuna is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Serve it on top of mixed greens or spread it onto whole-grain bread. This recipe is high in sodium, so you can scale it back by choosing low-sodium canned tuna, and by reducing the number of capers and olives.
