Tuna Rice and Spinach Salad
Not only is tuna delicious, it's also a great source of protein, and fairly inexpensive. If you are looking to lose weight, canned tuna is a good option because it is low in calories. Despite being low in fat, tuna is still considered a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are essential dietary fats that are beneficial for heart, eye, and brain health.
There are many yummy ways to eat tuna, and one of the best ways is using it in a salad.
