Make sure to buy the fat free version of tuna („in own juice“ or „natural“) and not the one marinated in oil. Tuna is a nutritious source of protein. Only use green olives, as black olives often are coloured. The salad can also be prepared in advance. If you do so, add bread crumbs just before eating.
