🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Tuna is a lean source of quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while the greens and seasonal vegetables add fiber, water and vitamins. Rich in fiber and protein, this salad may help you feel full for longer and suits mothers looking for lighter meals. Olive oil and lemon offer a gentle balance of flavor and support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. As part of a balanced and varied diet, it can be a refreshing choice in the summer months.
