Yellowfin Tuna Summer Salad image

Could there be a more delightful dish to usher in the beginning of the warm weather season than a delicious, crispy salad? As an added bonus, this salad is as pretty as a picture and tastes as good as it looks! We have used both the Yellowfin tuna (also known as Ahi tuna) marinated in lemon dill and olive oil, and the one with roasted garlic in olive oil. Both are equally delicious. My husband and I have a newsletter publishing company and work from home. I came up with this recipe because I needed something crunchy and filling for a mid-day meal. And one that wasn't calorie laden.

This salad is way too expensive for what you get. I could have made it at home for half the price.

This salad was very easy to make, but it wasn't anything special. I wouldn't make it again.

The tuna was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the rest of the salad was delicious.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it better if it had more seasoning.

This salad is healthy and delicious. It's a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

I'm not usually a fan of tuna salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of the avocado and corn gives it a really nice texture and flavor.
