Tuna is a low-calorie product containing a lot of vitamins and proteins. Salad with vegetables and canned tuna is very useful and perfect for those who watch their figure. 


Boiled rice or buckwheat is ideally combined with salad.

How to choose the right olives? It is better to buy the product in a transparent package. So you can see their appearance and color. If the olives are too black, then food dyes have been added. The fruits should be elastic, whole, with a smooth, shiny skin. Too soft, overripe olives will not be stored for a long time.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
