SPICY ASIAN TUNA SALAD

Do yourself a favor and try this fabulous variation on traditional tuna salad. It's good for everyday use on top of a salad with an asian vinagrette and can also be served with crackers at a dinner party. If you like a little crunch in your tuna salad feel free to substitute red onion for the green onion or add some chopped up celery. I created this recipe on a whim for use in my sushi rolls and have it posted under "Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll" with a lot of detailed instructions on how to prepare the rolls.

  • If you like a spicy salad, be sure to use a generous amount of Sriracha sauce. You can also add other spicy ingredients, such as chili peppers, cayenne pepper, or wasabi.
  • To make the salad more creamy, add a dollop of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. The salad will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
