Hearty and delicious tuna sandwiches are great for breakfast. In addition, tuna is also very useful. Firstly, it is a low-calorie product (less than 150 Kcal per 100 grams), and secondly, it is rich in all the amino acids necessary for growth, as well as iron and magnesium - important elements that our body often lacks. Despite the large number of ingredients, these sandwiches are quite simple to prepare.

Useful advice
In order to chop the onion without tears, first moisten the knife with cold water;
It is better to take pepper in different colors, while remembering that red and yellow varieties are sweet, and green is slightly bitter;
In order to quickly peel an egg from its shell, it is necessary to place it in cold water immediately after cooking;
Cheese is better to take unsalted, hard varieties - it is easier to grind on a grater;
When choosing canned tuna, it is important to carefully look at the date of manufacture. Tuna, released three months ago, has the most exquisite taste, since by this time the fish has time to absorb all the juices;
