FRESH TUNA SALAD
I love a beautiful healthy huge tuna salad with everything! The saltiness from the tuna, olives, and tomatoes, the creaminess of the avocado and eggs, the crunchy cucumbers and red onions, and the sourness from the lemon dressing; all loaded on top of crisp greens, makes this salad a winner-A must try!

Notes
Tuna packed in oil: have amazing unsaturated fats that are full of omega 3s from the tuna packed in it. Canned tuna is usually packed with safflower oil and you can find some packed in olive oil. This oil can be saved and used in many dishes. Drain your oil into a small mason jar and refrigerate. Use to caramelize onions, sauté veggies, or in your scrambled eggs/omelets!
