How to Make Better Than Tuna
- Finely chop 1/2 cup green bell pepper, 1/2 cup celery, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1 medium tomato. Place in a large bowl.
- Finely grate 1 cup carrots, aiming for a carrot pulp consistency. Add to the bowl with the other vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon kelp granules (or 1 sheet of dried kelp, finely chopped).
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, stuffed in a pita pocket, or spooned into halved tomatoes. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
