1. On a tostada

Made with a crispy corn tortilla, a tostada is the perfect vehicle for white tuna. It’s topped with guacamole, pickled red cabbage, fresh peppers and a salsa, with sour cream and fresh cilantro garnish for a final touch. It’s quick to make and ready to enjoy!

2. In a salad

This tuna’s versatility allows it to be enjoyed in a variety of salads. And it’s particularly well suited to this Niçoise version, where fish is the central ingredient in this specialty from the South of France.

Whether you prefer it hot or cold, white tuna is convenient as well as budget friendly. You can prepare it in countless ways and it’s a great way to bring some variety to your meals. Keep a few cans on hand at all times, ready to use for spontaneous and nutritious lunches!
