Fresh Tuna Salad with Capers, Cilantro and Lime

Canned tuna is always in my pantry, and it will do in a pinch, but for a change, try making Tuna Salad from fresh, wild caught tuna.  It doesn’t taste as strong, and is a nice change from the usual fare.

Also, you can add a lot of finely chopped vegetables to the mix — a meal in one can be a handy thing! — and you can use almost any vegetable YOU like.  I’ve been known to put carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, and so on in my tuna salad.  Make sure you get enough “crunch” in there.

Here is one very simple and tasty combination:

Wild Ahi Tuna, Steamed, about 4-6 oz.

1 – 2 T. capers or to taste.

1-2 T. chopped red onion, or to taste

1/4 c. chopped cilantro, or to taste

1/4 c. chopped celery

juice from 1/2 lime, or more

Vegenaise (or your favorite mayonnaise) — enough to make the salad hang together.

Mix and enjoy.

You’ll find you can enjoy Fresh Tuna Salad with Capers, Cilantro and Lime any season of the year!
