Ingredients for Asian Tuna Salad

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Gingerroot
  • Tamari Soy Sauce
  • Scallions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

How to Make Asian Tuna Salad

  1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger in a medium bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to the bowl. Mix well.
  3. Gently fold in 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for tang, or sriracha for heat.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled on crackers, lettuce cups, or as a sandwich filling.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
