Why This Salad Is Good For You
The Mediterranean diet continues to be recognised as one of the healthiest eating patterns in the world and is associated with improved cardiovascular health, healthy ageing, reduced inflammation and better metabolic health.
Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Rocket provides vitamins A, C and K alongside beneficial plant compounds that support overall health. Tuna is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, important for skin health, brain function and inflammation regulation. Extra virgin olive oil provides healthy fats and polyphenols that support both heart and skin health.
