A SKINNY #SUNDAYSUPPER: AHI TUNA SALAD

Guilty! That’s my impression when I found out this week we’re going skinny. Unlike those who start diet as their new resolution, I tend to start dieting when Spring comes because we have so many things going on. Thanksgiving – my birthday (of course, it’s an excuse to enjoy something delicious, right?), Christmas, New Year, followed by 2 birthday celebrations, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and not to mention that in-laws are around, so we eat out a lot! No wonder, I feel so guilty and excited at the same time.

My definition of skinny is something light and filling, and this salad is the answer. I just love the vibrant colors and amazing flavors. Just take a look at what’s coming this week !! Right after Valentine’s day  !!

Ahi Tuna Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 whole lettuce
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halves
• 3/4 cup cucumber, quartered and sliced
• 1/4 cup carrot, metchstick
• 1/4 lb tuna, sliced
• 1 tbs nori komi furikake (rice seasoning)
• 1 tbs scallion, sliced

Marinade for Tuna:

• 2 tbs sesame oil
• 1 tbs light soy sauce
• Sea salt
• Optional: 1 clove garlic, finely chopped and 1 jalapeno, finely diced

Salad Dressing:

• 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce
• 1 tbs rice vinegar
• 1 tbs light soy sauce
• 3 tbs virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp ginger juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Combine greens, tomatoes, carrot, and cucumber in a bowl.
2. Slice tuna on an angle and combine ahi tuna with the marinade in a mixing bowl. Adjust seasonings.  Chill at least 30 minutes to let flavors develop.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk the dressing. Drizzle dressing over your salad and toss to coat evenly. Arrange tuna on the salad and enjoy!
