Cooking Tip: Panzanella is the perfect way to use stale or frozen bread. Toast it up with olive oil and a pinch of salt, and you won’t know the difference!
Nutrition Tip: Canned tuna is a good source of omega-3s, which are a healthy fat important for improving heart health. This makes tuna a handy option to have in your pantry, especially if you aren’t a fan of other oily fish like anchovies and sardines.
