We’re bringing the crunch this week with a refreshing, Asian-inspired salad that’s light yet deeply satisfying. Wild-caught tuna pairs with crisp cabbage, grated daikon, and a sesame-ginger vinaigrette for a flavorful, protein-rich bowl you can whip up in minutes — no cooking required.

As with every salad in this series, this one is REBOOT-approved—built with real, anti-inflammatory ingredients and intentionally designed to nourish and energize you through the week.
