I look to cook and I love making delicious recipes that my family will love. I created this Asian-inspired tuna salad. It’s not your typical mayonaise based tuna. It’s light, refreshing and modern. I hope you like it as much as we do! I wanted to create an updated tuna salad for my husband who is trying to eat healthier. The almonds provide a nice crunch, the cranberries a sweet component, the sesame oil and fresh lime juice provide a beautiful background flavor mixed with the firm texture, light color and fresh taste of the Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore, it’s a winning combination! The quality of the tuna is evident the moment you open up the can! Adding all of this to a beautiful whole grain bread only ups the goodness of this sandwich.
- One can Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna
- 5 drops Sesame oil
- 2 TSP Mayo
- 1/4 cup diced dried cranberries
- 1 scallion
- Juice of 1/2 of lime
- 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds

- Mix the tuna all ingredients up to spinach and mix gently keeping chunks of the tuna in tact.

- Top with spinach.

Tomorrow I’m sharing easy ideas for a pretty Spring table! Thanks for coming by!
That looks so good, Susan. I haven’t had tuna in a long time.
Thanks Kim, my husband loved it! Let me know if you try it!
I love regular tuna salad (though I do make it lightened up) but I’ve been wanting to try out alternatives – and this looks perfect! Great for lunch or just snacking!
