This is my new favorite lunch. My chipotle tuna salad is not only delicious but it’s high in protein.
For this salad, I use Rio Mare Tuna. It is high-quality and it’s Italy’s number one brand in tuna. Its flavor and texture is incredible and it’s packed in olive oil.
You can purchase the tuna on Amazon and get a taste of Italy right in your kitchen!.

NOTES:
Soak your sliced red onions in ice water for 15 minutes before using, then rinse and dry. This will reduce the risk of indigestion and make the onions less pungent.
