Directions

  1. Place all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl or glass jar and stir to combine. The dressing is quite thick so feel free to add a splash of water (about 1/2 tsp at a time) to reach desired consistency. (I usually take 1 Tablespoon of the dressing and stir it into the tuna salad mix before thinning it out. This helps the salad mix hold together nicely in my lettuce cup and no one likes a watery tuna salad!!) I thin it out to drizzle over the top. FYI – you will have a little extra dressing, especially if you don’t do the extra drizzle when serving (but please do the drizzle!).

  2. Place your Wild Planet Tuna along with 3/4 of your carrot, cabbage and tomatoes into a small bowl and stir to combine.

  3. Add about a Tablespoon of your tahini and lime dressing into your tuna salad mix and stir to combine.

  4. To serve, place a few slices of avocado into your prepared lettuce cups, top with your super tasty tuna salad, add the rest of your carrot, cabbage and tomato. Sprinkle with fresh coriander, extra chili (or chili flakes) and drizzle over a little more of that divine tahini and lime dressing!
