We are full on in spring with summer just around the corner! Did you know May is Mediterranean Diet Month? Yep! I’m not one to normally be concerned about things like that, but as the weather gets warmer I just seem to eat a bit healthier! I love salads, and I love Cobb salads. It’s only natural that I craved a healthier Cobb salad. This Tuna Cobb Salad is my new go-to salad! 

I made this salad using Bella Portofino Italian style albacore tuna. It’s hand selected and packed in extra virgin olive oil with a touch of sea salt. That’s it! This tuna has amazing taste, but that’s not all –  it’s also caught in the wild. You can feel good about eating this tuna!

I have to admit, usually when I think of canned tuna, I think of tuna salad sandwiches. I love tuna salad sandwiches, but I’ve decided to branch out a bit and try this tuna in a different way. Once I made this salad, I simply popped open a can of tuna, drained off the extra virgin olive oil and added the chunks of tuna right on top of the salad. I drizzled on a homemade vinaigrette and took a bite!  Can you say YUM? I did!

I think I will stock my pantry and my office with Bella Portofino Tuna to have anytime I need a quick, delicious and nutritious lunch!
