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.

ASIAN TUNA SALAD



ASIAN TUNA SALAD image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (Indonesian chili paste), or more to taste
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
4 (6 ounce/170 g) cans tuna, drained and chopped (LifeCafe uses white tuna, we opted for light.)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. In the large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sambal oelek, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, ginger, kosher salt, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. 2. Add the tuna, carrots, green onions, cilantro, and dried cranberries, then toss to mix well. Use as a stuffing for lettuce wraps, tortilla wraps, tomatoes, on top of thick sliced cucumbers, or on top of green salads.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tuna salad.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's opaque in the center.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your tuna salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good options include celery, onion, cucumber, and carrots.
  • Add some crunch to your tuna salad. This can be done with chopped nuts, seeds, or crackers.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good option. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to taste it first to make sure it's not too sweet or bland.
  • Serve your tuna salad immediately. Or, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Asian tuna salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and it's also a great option for potlucks and picnics. With so many different variations available, there's sure to be an Asian tuna salad recipe that everyone will love.
