      4. Sesame Tuna Salad

      Sesame Tuna Salad

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Diabetes-Friendly Dairy-Free Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Asian Seafood Dinner Lunch Salad

      Sesame Tuna Salad

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Diabetes-Friendly Dairy-Free Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Asian Seafood Dinner Lunch Salad
      2 cups tuna salad & 6 cups cabbage
      Prep time: 25 minutes
      Total time: 25 minutes

      Description

      Toasted sesame oil transforms a humble staple like canned tuna into an elegant supper. We love the crunch of napa cabbage in this salad, but romaine lettuce would also work if you happen to have that on hand.

      Directions

      1. Whisk vinegar (or lemon juice), canola oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and ginger in a small bowl.
      2. Combine 3 tablespoons of the dressing with tuna, peas and scallions in a medium bowl.
      3. Divide cabbage among 4 plates. Mound one-fourth of the tuna mixture (about 1/2 cup) in the center of each plate and garnish with radishes, cilantro and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the remaining dressing (about 2 tablespoons per salad) and season with pepper.

      Tips

      • Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.
