Looking for a quick and easy lunch in a crunch? I give classic tuna salad a colorful (and healthful) spin by tossing in some fresh, crispy veggies. Then, I do a quick mix and stir with the light mayo and lemon juice for added pizzazz and to create a super satisfying mid-day meal. I like to serve it on a bed of fresh spinach leaves (oh hello, nature’s multivitamin!), but you can also opt for a toasted English muffin or whole grain roll. Total lunch love.
