SCARLETT'S TUNA SALAD



Scarlett's Tuna Salad image

For when it's too hot to cook, there's the chef Scarlett Lindeman's tuna salad - the same one she serves at her Mexico City restaurant, Cicatriz. Made with high-quality, oil-packed tuna, the salad is fresh, juicy, bright and summery, composed with cucumbers, avocado, pickled onion and lots of herbs. Don't be afraid to season the cucumbers generously with salt at the start, and to season more as you build the layers of the salad. The dish is so simple that seasoning it well is key.

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4 as a side or 2 as dinner

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
3 Persian cucumbers, peeled if skin is thick and waxy, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 limes, juiced, about 1/4 cup
5 to 7 ounces olive-oil-packed tuna
1 avocado, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon or more finishing salt, such as Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Handful basil leaves, washed and torn
Handful cilantro sprigs, washed and torn
Handful fresh mint leaves, washed and torn
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a clean glass jar with a tightfitting lid, mix vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon kosher salt with 1/2 cup hot water. Shake until sugar is dissolved. Bring a pot of water to the boil, and add the onions. Let it sit for just a few seconds in the hot water, then drain well and transfer onions to the jar with the vinegar. The pickled onions will be ready to use in an hour, or can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for up to a week.
  • In a large mixing bowl, dress the cucumber and spring onions with the remaining kosher salt and lime juice. It should be fairly wet. Pour into a deep serving plate or a wide bowl, along with any extra liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Spoon tuna out of the oil, and use your hands to break it into bite-size pieces, directly into the now-empty mixing bowl. Add avocado, 3 tablespoons of pickled red onion and 1 tablespoon of pickling liquid from the jar, and mix gently with your hands to dress. Scatter over the cucumber mixture, and season with finishing salt and black pepper. Cover with torn herbs, and generously drizzle everything with olive oil. Eat right away, with spoons.

This is a really great tuna salad recipe I got from a friend who used it in her catering service business many years ago. The secret ingredients are the curry and Parmesan cheese! Odd combinations but this makes a terrific tuna sandwich! She used it for an appetizer with gourmet crackers and people always wanted her recipe. I have never tasted another tuna salad quite like this one, and it has been my favorite recipe for tuna salad for many, many years.

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose the right mayonnaise: Use a good-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of. Avoid low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, as it can make the salad dry and bland.

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and chives, can add a lot of flavor to tuna salad. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the tuna salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste.
