What is Tuna with parsley?
Tuna with parsley combines tuna with chopped parsley, often with simple additions such as lemon, seasoning or a little oil. It is an easy dish to assemble rather than a preparation tied to one particular region, and the exact texture depends on whether the tuna is flaked or left in larger pieces.
It works well in salads, sandwiches or on toast, and can be served as a quick lunch alongside vegetables or greens. Parsley brings a fresh, herbal note to tuna’s savoury, substantial taste. The dish is high in protein and low in carbohydrate; a 100 g portion provides 24.8 g of protein. For a lighter version, use just enough oil to dress it and let lemon, herbs and crisp vegetables add freshness.
