A great lunch option, tuna is
high in stress-fighting vitamins B6 and B12 as well as a good, low-fat protein
source.
To vary this recipe, try
substituting cooked tofu, crabmeat, or shrimp for the tuna. You can also add
steamed green beans or wax beans, diced tomatoes, chopped cooked egg whites,
rinsed capers, or your favorite fresh herbs.
