Tuna Salad Sandwiches

A very long time ago, I used to come home from work in Chicago and would throw this meal together in just moments. For something so simple, this is a very satisfying sandwich meal. Tuna, is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamins and minerals, and it is a wonderful way to excite the palate while maintaining a balanced diet. However everyone, tuna has more to offer than just great taste and nutrition. Tuna can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids, found in abundance in fatty fish like tuna, can help lower the risk of heart disease, ease the pain of arthritis, reduce asthma complications, and is essential in the growth and development of young children. So, please give this a try.
