A Classic Re-invented

This was one of my treats as a child growing up in San Diego. My mom would make us tuna salad sandwiches after walks on the beach. Toast the bread, add some lettuce, and add some tuna salad. It is the perfect snack or lunch filled with some fantastic nutrients. Her trick was the sweet bites of apple.

Always make sure to source your tuna responsibly, preferably line caught tuna if possible. Adding fish to your diet occasionally is fine but we must all remember that we are a part of an interconnected world. If we consume too many animal products per person we will damage the planet and unbalance the delicate ecosystems all around us with potentially devastating repercussions.
