Today I have a healthy summer grilling recipe to share with you just in time for your Memorial Day weekend grilling. If you’re trying to eat healthy, summer is a great time to do it with all the fresh fruits and vegetables available at peak flavor. Summer grilling season can also help you eat lighter if you cook lean cuts of protein, and fish on the grill.
Give this grilled tuna burger from StarKist a try for a new grilled flavor twist.
