Tuna steaks are a great source of protein while being low in calories. Its a great source of vitamin D and iron. The addition of asparagus adds good fiber and is packed with vitamins and rich in antioxidants. I love the bigger Mexican onion bulbs but if they are hard to find you can use green onions grilled the same way.
