This vibrant tuna salad brings together flaky, protein-rich tuna with the subtle, nutty crunch of toasted flax seeds. It is a simple, satisfying meal that fuels your day without weighing you down.
A high-protein, heart-healthy lunch that takes minutes to prepare. The addition of ground and whole flax seeds adds a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to a classic recipe.
Toast your whole flax seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for just 60 seconds before adding them. It releases a deeper, toastier aroma that elevates the entire salad.
