Tuna is not only a great source of lean protein<\/a>,\u00a0the fish is also packed to the gills with nutrients like vitamin B12<\/a>, vitamin D, calcium and iron. Brain-boosting omega-3s in the fish combined with fiber-rich vegetables will keep you sharp and energized for the rest of the day. We couldn\u2019t think of a fresher tasting summer salad recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  2. Arrange lettuce, basil, tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, radishes, eggs and green beans evenly between two plates.<\/li>\n
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Add tuna to pan and cook until browned on the outside but still pink inside, about 2 minutes on each side. Cut thinly across the grain. Arrange tuna over vegetables.<\/li>\n
  4. To prepare dressing, combine lemon juice and the rest of the ingredients in a small jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until well combined and drizzle evenly over salads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
