Canned Tuna Mixed Bean Feta Salad

ANNED TUNA A can of sustainably fished tuna is hard to beat in terms of lean, high-quality protein (up to 30g per can). Tuna supports muscle health and contains essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for neurological development. “Two omega-3s in particular, EPA and DHA, can be found in large quantities in tuna,” says Dr Warren Bradley, head of nutrition at Goal Master Fitness. “These are essential to cell health, reducing inflammation and facilitating recovery of damaged muscles.” TUNA, MIXED BEAN, ROASTED PEPPER AND FETA SALAD
