Couscous, a tasty grain made from semolina, cooks superfast and is loaded with energy-stoking niacin (vitamin B3).

Prep Time: 15 Minutes, servings: 2 

Ingredients
1/2 cup uncooked couscous (about 31⁄2 ounces) 
1/2 cup boiling water 
1 (3-ounce) can tuna, packed in water, drained
Handful of olives, finely chopped (optional)
Handful of cherry tomatoes, finely chopped 
1/2 teaspoon fresh mint, finely chopped
Freshly squeezed juice of 1⁄2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon) 
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey 
Directions
1. Combine couscous and boiling water in a medium bowl. Cover, let it sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Separate tuna chunks with fork, then add to the couscous, along with olives (if using), tomatoes and mint; toss to combine.
2. Whisk lemon juice, olive oil and honey together in a small bowl until well blended. Pour over the couscous salad and mix well with a fork. Pack couscous in reusable lunchbox containers.
TIP: Light canned tuna varieties contain safer mercury levels than white albacore, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, making it okay for kids to eat up to three servings of this kind per month.
