If you're in the mood for a satisfying yet light lunch, this tuna salad is your ultimate choice. The beauty of this dish lies in its versatility – you can tailor it to your liking, but I'd love to share my favourite combination with you.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh iceberg lettuce
A handful of crisp arugula leaves
A handful of vibrant cherry tomatoes
1 small to medium-sized cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
1 spring onion, finely chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, boiled to perfection
1 can of premium tuna (I swear by Rio Mare's irresistible flavour)
A sprinkle of crunchy cashew nuts
A dash of (toasted) sesame seeds
A pinch of fragrant sunflower seeds
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
A few luscious nectarine slices for that sunny twist
INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by assembling the greens - gently tear the crisp iceberg lettuce and arrange it with a handful of arugula leaves as the base of your salad.
Next, add the burst of color with a handful of vibrant cherry tomatoes. Their juicy sweetness will complement the tuna perfectly.
Slide in the cool, refreshing cucumber slices, followed by a generous handful of sweet corn kernels for that delightful crunch.
Elevate the flavour profile with the addition of finely chopped spring onions, which infuse a subtle, zesty kick.
Now, let's talk eggs – boil and peel two eggs to perfection. Slice or chop them, and let them join the party.
It's time to unleash the star of the show - open that can of exquisite tuna. Rio Mare, in my opinion, takes this salad to the next level with its unparalleled taste.
To add an irresistible crunch, sprinkle cashew nuts, (toasted) sesame seeds, and fragrant sunflower seeds over the salad.
Season your masterpiece with a pinch of salt and a generous twist of freshly ground pepper. This will awaken the flavours and bring your salad to life.
Gently toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl, ensuring that the flavours mingle harmoniously.
Finally, to infuse a sunny, summery vibe into your creation, garnish with a few luscious nectarine slices.
This tuna salad is not just a meal; it's a culinary journey of flavours, textures, and freshness. Whether you're customising it to your taste or embracing my favourite combo, you're in for a delightful lunch experience. Enjoy!
