My favorite is the SafeCatch canned Ahi from Costco. I like this variety because the fish is individually tested for Mercury levels and is slow-cooked for exceptional flavor. It’s the best I’ve tried, and even my husband (a known canned tuna-hater) loves it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/frostedkale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_2756-scaled.jpeg” title_text=”IMG_2756″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”499px” custom_margin=”-45px||40px||false|false” filter_saturate=”120%” filter_brightness=”108%” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/frostedkale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Evergreen-Banners-20225.jpeg” alt=”Ritual vitamins review, ritual multivitamins” title_text=”Evergreen-Banners-20225″ url=”https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=2055989&u=771504&m=125261&urllink=&afftrack=” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” filter_saturate=”120%” filter_brightness=”108%” border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Instructions” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/frostedkale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/recipe_illustration_01-2.png” background_size=”initial” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”2899px” custom_margin=”150px||-134px|||” custom_padding=”5px||5px||true|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”151px” custom_margin=”-1px|auto|-39px|auto||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”||0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” module_id=”instructions” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Actor|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#727272″ header_2_font_size=”34px” header_3_font=”Actor|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#727272″ header_3_font_size=”34px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#cccccc” divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”80px” max_width_tablet=”150px” max_width_phone=”150px” max_width_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||15px|” animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”left” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Instructions Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” link_font=”Montserrat|700||||||#8e9d97|” link_text_color=”#01966c” header_font=”Actor||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_5_font=”Actor||||||||” header_5_text_align=”center” header_5_font_size=”20px” header_5_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px|” custom_padding=”36px||36px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” border_color_all=”rgba(51,51,51,0.1)” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Prepare the Pesto Vinaigrette<\/a>\u00a0using homemade pesto<\/a>\u00a0or store-bought.
