It will take your taste buds to the tropics! I love the taste of tuna, it is an essential part of my diet, but I eat it in moderation. It is a healthy food packed with high quality protein, omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, and other essential vitamins and minerals.
This dish is similar to the Filipino dish kinilaw na isda, but I made it simpler
using the available ingredients in the house.
2/3 lb. of fresh tuna, cubed
1 fresh sliced cucumber
1 small fresh ginger minced
1/4 large red bell pepper chopped
1 tsp. minced onion
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 tsp sushi seasoning
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
pinch of salt
Optional: Jalapeno peppers minced
Directions:
- In a bowl, add tuna and pour half of the vinegar, let it stand for 30 seconds.
- Squeeze the tuna with a fork putting a little pressure, then drain the vinegar. Wash the tuna one more time with the remaining vinegar.
- On a plate, lay the cucumbers, the tuna meat, then the ginger, onions, and bell pepper. Pour the lemon juice on the salad, sushi seasoning and salt to taste. You may also add a little bit of vinegar and salt for that extra flavor.
Now the cost. The tuna was for $9/Lb and the rest of the ingredients are pretty inexpensive. All are in very small amounts. I spent $5 tops to make this great dish. Simple, easy, healthy and rich in flavor. That's my fabulous tuna salad. :)
