Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl or glass jar and stir to combine. The dressing is quite thick, so add a splash of water (about 1/2 teaspoon at a time) to reach desired consistency if needed.
-
Step 2.
Place the Wild Planet Tuna along with 3/4 of the carrot, cabbage, and tomatoes into a small bowl and stir to combine.
-
Step 3.
Add about 1 tablespoon of the tahini and lime dressing to the tuna salad mix and stir to combine. (Optionally, take 1 tablespoon of the dressing and stir it into the tuna salad before thinning the remaining dressing; this helps the salad hold together.)
-
Step 4.
To serve, place a few slices of avocado into prepared lettuce cups, top with the tuna salad, and add the remaining carrot, cabbage, and tomato. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and extra chili or chili flakes, then drizzle with a little more of the tahini and lime dressing.
