  • 3 (5 ounce) cans Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, drained
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup chopped Thai basil
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 6 green onions, chopped, divided
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons Asian red chili paste (sambal)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 cups gourmet salad greens

Method

  1. Prepare the spicy mayo by blending Sriracha, mayonnaise, and sambal in a small bowl. Chill it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breaking it into large pieces. Add chopped cilantro, basil, diced bell pepper, onion, grated carrot, two-thirds of the sliced green onions, and diced jalapeño. Gently mix to combine without mashing the tuna.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, sambal, sesame seeds, sugar, salt, pepper, lime juice, and minced garlic. Pour this dressing over the tuna mixture and fold it in gently.
  4. Scoop the tuna mixture onto crisp lettuce leaves and drizzle the spicy mayo on top. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining green onions, cilantro, and basil for garnish.
