Asian Tuna Salad

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• Dressing:
  • 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp asian chilli oil (I like to use the Lao Gan Ma crispy chilli oil (drained), but any chilli oil/sauce should do – you may want to adjust the proportions if your chilli sauce is very spicy)
  • 1 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 Tbsp ginger, grated

• 200g cooked/canned tuna, flaked and drained
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 3 Tbsp green onions, chopped (~2 stalks)
• 1/3 cup carrots, chopped finely
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, sesame oil, light soy sauce, asian chilli oil, honey, ginger. Set aside.
2. In a bigger bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients: tuna, cranberries, green onion, carrots, sesame seeds, chili powder and lemon juice. Once combined, add in the dressing and mix until incorporated. Serve!

Note:

• You can serve this as a snack or appetizer or side dish.
• My favourite way to serve this is in some lettuce leaves as wraps. You can also have it with crackers or spread in a tortilla to make a burrito or even between some bread to make an easy tuna salad with a punch.
