Tuna and Pomegranate Vitality Bowl

This 3-ingredient Tuna and Pomegranate Vitality bowl can be made in under 5 minutes! It is high in protein and packed with antioxidants from the beautiful pomegranate. This combination came to me one day when I was thinking about a chicken salad recipe (think chicken salad with grapes). It is incredibly simple to prepare and is one of those recipes that you can feel good about eating. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Why I Love This Bowl:

I love lunches that come together in minutes with ingredients that I usually have on hand. This tuna and pomegranate bowl was created from one of those “use what you have” moments. I often have canned tuna in the pantry, leftover grains in the refrigerator, and several other colorful extras such as pomegranate seeds, veggies, or greens. It’s healthy, and fresh, and always leaves me feeling good afterward.

Plus, this bowl has excellent health benefits!
The tuna provides lean protein and omega-3’s. Pomegranate seeds are packed with antioxidants, which help calm inflammation in our bodies.

Tips for Customizing this Bowl:

Make it your own:

– Swap the tuna for shredded rotisserie chicken or chickpeas

– Use quinoa, couscous, romaine or butter lettuce for your base

-Add avocado or nuts for added crunch and texture

-Drizzle with lemon-tahini dressing or olive oil and balsamic glaze

*Pomegranate arils: this is the technical name for the seeds. If you have fresh pomegranate fruit, and don’t mind the process of removing them from the fruit, that’s great too. When I don’t have much time, I will buy a pack of the 8oz. cups (usually from Costco), so I can easily throw this dish together in 5 minutes. I’ve used an entire 8oz. cup of arils for this recipe, and that was delicious too. Depends on the ratio of sweet and savory you are craving.

*Tuna: I usually use the Safe Catch brand of tuna (wild yellowfin). Because I eat a lot of tuna, I like the fact that the mercury levels are checked for this specific brand. Any tuna packed in water will taste great though!
