Nutritional values

This satisfying salad is not only an eye-catcher at southern French restaurants but also at home. This dish provides a lot of vitamin D which is especially helpful during winter months with little sunshine, where the supply of this "sun vitamin" is often insufficient.

Even though tuna is extremely healthy, you should not eat it every day, because the fish stocks are threatened and the fishing methods can cause unwanted by-catch.
