Asian Tuna Salad

 Everyone who knows me knows that I hate canned tuna.  Blech. Barf.  Smells like cat food.  Ugh. So it's no surprise that I never cook with canned tuna.  Right after Keith and I got married, I made tuna-noodle-hot dish topped with potato chips (Minnesota standard) to see if I could eat it. Nope. So gross.  

Recently I came upon a TikTok of a father and son making a tuna salad with Asian ingredients, that I thought sounded interesting.  I like siracha.  I like Kewpie mayo.  I like soy sauce and sesame oil.  Maybe?

The answer is YES!  We bought the most expensive canned tuna at Lunds (still smelled like cat food, btw) to make it. Loved it and will make it again!

Here's the recipe.  I had just taken a screen shot, so I'm not sure of the assembly.  I mixed everything together, then added the tuna.  Enjoy!
