'What's For Dinner?" Wednesday: Spicy Tuna Sushi Salad

Anyone who knows me, can tell you that I am sushi obsessed. I can eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner. I never get sick of it. One of my favorite things to order is a spicy tuna roll, I'm drooling just thinking about it. As I am trying to keep my new year's resolution of eating healthy, tonight I am taking my beloved spicy tuna roll and turning it into a nice, fresh, healthy salad. Be sure you buy high quality, sushi grade tuna for this recipe, as you will be eating it raw. I know tuna steaks can get pricey, but since you are adding lots of greens and other delicious, healthy ingredients, a little will go a long way. I'm using store bought seaweed salad in the recipe, you can find it in the prepared sushi section of most grocery stores, if not, you can pick up an order from your favourite sushi restaurant, or leave it out. Serve on it's own or with a bowl of miso soup.

Spicy Tuna Sushi Salad
Serves 4
  • 3/4 lb (12 oz) fresh, sushi grade tuna steak
  • 1 medium sized, ripe, avocado
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 (142 g) package mixed greens
  • 1 container (100g) prepared seaweed salad
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • pickled ginger and toasted sesame seeds for garnish
  • soy sauce and wasabi for dipping
1. Cut the tuna and avocado into bite sized cubes, trying to keep them the same size. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise with the chili sauce and lemon juice, set aside.
3. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the seaweed salad, green onions and cubed tuna and avocado.
4. Place the salad onto a large serving platter, or divide onto individual plates, then drizzle with the mayonnaise mixture.
5. Garnish with pickled ginger and sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.

ENJOY!

    AWESOME SALAD! MY WIFE SARAH MADE THIS TONIGHT AND IT REMINDED ME OF A SALAD I USED TO GET FROM A LITTLE SUSHI PLACE DOWN THE STREET WHEN I LIVED IN CALIFORNIA. SUSHI GRADE TUNA WAS FROM BRUNOS AND WAS AMAZING. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
