About Tomato basil tuna

Tomato Basil Tuna is a flavorful dish that combines protein-packed tuna with fresh tomato and basil to create a light and nutritious option inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. The tuna, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, supports heart health and provides essential nutrients like vitamin D and selenium. Diced tomatoes bring an antioxidant boost thanks to their high lycopene content, while fresh basil adds a burst of aromatic flavor with minimal calories. Typically prepared with olive oil, the dish benefits from healthy monounsaturated fats that are great for cardiovascular well-being. Common ingredients can include garlic, onion, and a splash of lemon juice for added zest. While naturally low in carbs and high in healthy fats and lean protein, moderation is key if extra oil or salt is added. Suitable for light lunches or dinner, Tomato Basil Tuna is a nutritious choice rooted in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet.
