Tuna & Red Pepper Salad with Quinoa is a great lunch after a hard workout or if you are looking for an easy take to work lunch! It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants too! But the best part for me, aside from the yummy flavor, is the fullness that lasts all afternoon!

Maybe you’re looking for something to make your body feel good and full, too.

Your cells will be happy with the healthy omega 3 fats this salad packs, plus the 15 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber! Rounding out the goodness is 63mg of Vitamin C, over 6000 IU’s of vitamin A, and 70mg of calcium.

Don’t you love when you can do 5 minutes of work and get tons of flavor and nutrition? Spring mix greens are like a smorgasbord of flavor that never gets old!

You know what God puts in the Garden is good!

He even designated feast days for you and me to celebrate His goodness and provision. We have so many blessings from our local grocery store we can enjoy the work of our hands each day!

The Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.
