Tips
- Make this ahead and pack the salad components in to clear glass jars or salad container. Layer the different coloured vegetables for a rainbow effect. The tuna is best added immediately prior to eating.
- Canned salmon also works well in this recipe. Tuna and salmon are both good sources of omega 3 fats which are generally lacking in Western diets. Omega 3 fats help reduce inflammation and promote optimal brain function, mood and heart health.
