Fiesta Tuna Salad

Not a boring tuna salad, we promise. It's actually kind of a little spicy.

On a mission to make boring tuna salads a thing of the past. Canned tuna is great, especially if you opt to purchase a sustainable brand such as Wild Planet. Tuna is also a great source of Omegas, which we all need. This is even more important for pregnant and breast feeding mamas. I (Ives) am literally pumping as a I write this-- so you know it is a legitimate source of info. Oh and lets also appreciate that tuna now comes in pouches. This is a grab and go staple in our pantry for easy work lunches or even for a protein packed snack after a sweat session/training.
