Creative Seafood Solutions - This Quinoa Salad Bowl with Tuna recipe uses a whole-grain base layered with seafood, veggies and toppings.
(Family Features) When it comes to cooking up creative meals for the family, finding inspiration for new flavors while maintaining nutrition is typically a primary goal.
One solution is incorporating more seafood into weekly meal planning, which offers nutritional benefits like protein, vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, iron and selenium. Consider these tips from Bumble Bee to add more seafood to your family’s diet:
Change the Protein
Try substituting seafood for the meat or poultry in meals like shrimp tacos, salmon burgers or tuna nachos.
Boost Nutrients
If you enjoy classic tuna salad, consider swapping mayo with mashed avocado or Greek yogurt, and try flavorful options like this Quinoa Salad Bowl with Tuna.
Make it a Bowl
Personalize mealtime with creative bowls, like Quinoa Bowls with Tuna, using a whole-grain base layered with seafood, veggies and toppings like guacamole or teriyaki sauce.
