Tuna Lettuce Boats
You must try this simple mayo-free tuna salad served in romaine lettuce boats! With all the veggies added, this dish is full of fiber and crunch. I love safe catch foods tuna for #leanprotein because it’s the lowest in mercury. The lemon provides flavor and antioxidant VitaminC and the olive oil is a healthy fat that’s great for skin this time of year! Enjoy this for a healthy meal or snack!
