Moving forward, I arranged the previously sliced watermelon radish on a plate and top with a tablespoon full of tuna salad.
Lastly, I garnish with a few slices of avocado, cilantro, sesame seeds and a fresh squeeze of lime - enjoy!
TUNA ON WATERMELON RADISH tips AND TRICKS
Chop your onion very finely: Because flavor is also textural, you do not want to throw in large chunks of onion in your tuna salad. Aside from the fact that roughly chopped onions are unsightly, they can also distract from the overall flavor of your tuna salad.
Add in more veggies: For an extra veggie boost, why not try some chopped bell peppers, or a dill pickle into the tuna salad?
