- Place spinach in a dry pot set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until it just begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer into a strainer to cool.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for spinach and broccoli that are deep green and crisp, and tuna that is firm and flaky.
- Chop the ingredients evenly. This will help ensure that the salad is evenly mixed and that each bite has a variety of textures and flavors.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the spinach, broccoli, and tuna. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve the salad immediately. Spinach and broccoli salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Spinach, broccoli, and tuna salad is a healthy and delicious salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and fiber.
