Easy Ways to Customize Your Bowl

This recipe is easy to adjust based on what you already have at home. You can swap the tuna for canned salmon or mackerel, use olive oil and lemon juice instead of Italian dressing, or add extra vegetables such as peppers, spinach, or shredded carrots.

For even more variety, try serving it over mixed greens, adding a squeeze of fresh lemon, or topping it with seeds or fresh herbs. Small changes can give the bowl a different flavour without adding much extra preparation time.
