Health benefits of Debi's Italian Tuna Salad

Tuna is great for a high protein diet as it has 33 grams of protein within its housing, with no pesky carbohydrates to worry about. In addition to this, tuna contains B vitamins and vitamin D, both of which are vital to fighting back against PCOS. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
Four 6-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained and crumbled
1/4 red onion, diced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 Persian cucumber, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Small handful fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced or torn
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Add eggs to a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and rinse under cold water to cool down. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice.
Toss together the tuna, red onions, cherry tomatoes, celery, cucumber, mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, basil and some pepper. Mix to combine. Transfer to a serving platter, arrange the sliced eggs on top, and serve.
