in Recipes, Lunch, Meal The easiest fish salad
This is a go-to low carb meal for ultra busy days. It takes very few steps, ingredients, and prep time, but gives maximum nutrients, healthy fats, and protein. You can swap the tuna for salmon, mackerel, or sardines. Try adding sliced avocado for extra fats or a hard-boiled egg for extra protein.
