You’ll start by preparing the healthy tuna salad, mixing the tuna, hummus, cherry tomatoes, turmeric, and broccoli slaw.

The crisp texture of the red peppers with the flavorful and healthy tuna salad that’s on top is a winning combo that’s satisfying and delicious.

Tuna is so healthy in and of itself—it’s full of omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for heart health.
