 Cauliflower - Curry - Edamame - Indian.

 Asparagus - Cannellini Bean - Tuna.
Try this salad for a fast weeknight meal. The biggest thing you’ll do here in terms of cooking is drop some butter in the microwave for a few seconds. The flavors are great. Be sure to get good quality tuna packed in oil. Drain it well and you’ll be fine. If you’re still nervous,
