THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Time 1h35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons lime juice
4 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
½ fresh red chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated
2 (8 ounce) tuna steaks
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
½ fresh red chile pepper, cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Whisk together the ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly whisk in olive oil until incorporated. Set aside and refrigerate half of this mixture to be used as a salad dressing later. Whisk the garlic, lime zest, minced chile pepper, and cilantro stems into the marinade. Coat the tuna steaks with the marinade, cover, and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, remove the tuna from the marinade, and place into the skillet. Sear the tuna until golden brown on both sides, and cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness.
  • Place the watercress in a large bowl with the cilantro leaves, cherry tomatoes, and sliced chile pepper. Pour in the reserved dressing, and toss to mix. Serve the seared tuna on a bed of salad.
