On these hot days I hardly feel like turning on the stove or even following a recipe that has more than two steps. In my desire to keep my meals cool and simple I keep reaching for tuna salad. Furikake and Kewpie tuna salad avocado tuna salad tuna salad with white beans and onions… there are so many easy and delicious ways to prepare the canned fish.

While tuna salad has become my summer staple I’m still pretty clueless about which can to buy. I interviewed Laura M. Ali MSRDN a nutrition consultant for StarKist Co. (one of my favorite canned tuna brands) to understand the difference between tuna in oil and tuna in water.
