Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 6 ounce cans white meat tuna packed in water, drained
3 tablespoons minced red onion, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes, drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 tablespoon golden raisins, plumped in 2 tablespoons warm water for 10 minutes, drained
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, like soy, peanut, or corn
2 teaspoons Madras-style curry powder
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice plus more to taste
Serving suggestions: 2 cups mixed lettuces or 3 to 4 pita breads

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl break the tuna up with a fork. Toss with the onion, fresh coriander, and raisins.
  • In a small saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the curry powder, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove pan from the heat and set oil aside to cool.
  • Add the curry oil to the mayonnaise, season with salt, and pepper to taste and add the lime juice. Gently mix the tuna with the seasoned mayonnaise. Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich.
  • Yield: 3 to 4 servings

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality tuna. Look for tuna steaks or fillets that are firm and have a bright red color.
  • If you don't have any curry powder on hand, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder and chili powder to taste. If you like a spicier salad, add more chili powder.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute finely chopped red onion or bell pepper.
  • If you want a creamier salad, add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
  • For a more tangy salad, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach leaves.
