Ingredients

  • 5 oz tuna packed in water, drained
  • ¼ cup carrot, grated
  • ¼ cup Sriracha Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup red pepper, diced
  • 1 TBSP onion, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 TBSP dill pickles, finely diced
  • 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Drain the tuna. I like to use a small strainer.
  • Grate the carrot, mince the garlic.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Serve with homemade bread

Notes & Ingredients

For the Sriracha Mayonnaise, using Heinz Mayoracha Spicy Mayo is a nice spicy choice. However, if you prefer, use a plain mayonnaise.

    Hanna, this recipe is a delightful change from my usual tuna salad.
    Especially like the grated carrot, red pepper and garlic. 🙂
