Make Traditional Tuna Salad With An Asian Twist

Garnish the tuna salad with sliced daikon, a crisp Japanese radish

Traditional tuna salad is a creamy, cool picnic favorite that can be eaten on its own or as a sandwich. Give the rich combination of tuna and mayonnaise an Asian twist with the inclusion of a splash of soy sauce and a dash of wasabi powder, which packs a spicy kick. Wasabi powder can be found in specialty Asian markets and in the international sections of higher-end markets. Use the highest quality of canned tuna the market has in stock for the dish.

Instructions

1. Empty a drained 6 oz. can of tuna into a large bowl. Mash the tuna with a fork. Add in 1 tsp. olive oil, 1/3 cup cottage cheese and 2 tbsp. mayonnaise. Stir well to combine.

2. Add in a peeled and diced small avocado, 1/4 cup minced scallions, the juice of half a lime, 1 tsp. soy sauce and 1 tsp. wasabi powder. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to chill for two to three hours.

3. Serve chilled tuna salad on toast as sandwiches or in bowls with sliced daikon radish as a garnish.
