Your stomach growls its lunchtime bell, prompting you to open the fridge to see what you can scrap together. No leftovers. No lunch meat. Nothing protein-packed to fill you up. So you open your pantry and grab the tuna can. In and of itself, tuna's nutritional content receives a glowing report. But, healthy ends when you grab the mayonnaise jar and loaf of bread. So, why not take back the "salad" in tuna salad? It's a perfect lunch to make in a pinch since tuna is shelf-stable. Chop together the rest of the fixings and you'll be eating lunch in less than 15 minutes!
