Ingredients
- tuna în suc propriu 140 g
- green salad 70 g
- tomatoes 120 g
- cucumber 120 g
- olive oil 5 g
- lemon, salt, pepper
Instructions
- Wash the green salad leaves well, dry them, and tear them into suitable pieces. Place them in a generous bowl.
- Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into cubes or slices. These will provide volume and freshness to the salad base.
- Drain the tuna well to eliminate excess sodium and add it over the vegetable mixture. Break up the fish pieces lightly with a fork to distribute them evenly.
- In a small container, mix the 5 g of olive oil with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving to preserve the crunchy texture of the vegetables. Mix lightly to blend the flavors.
This salad is an excellent tool for weight management and metabolic health. Tuna in its own juice represents one of the purest sources of animal protein, providing selenium and vitamin D, essential for immune system function. Choosing tuna in its own juice instead of oil allows precise control of the type of fats consumed.
The added extra virgin olive oil provides polyphenols and monounsaturated fatty acids, which facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from the other ingredients. Tomatoes and cucumbers, besides their water content, come with lycopene and potassium, minerals that support electrolyte balance and heart health. It's a meal with very low caloric density but high satiety, preventing systemic inflammation and supporting cellular repair processes.
