Chili-lime & Carrot Tuna Boats

Chili-lime & Carrot Tuna Boats

By SueAnna Harrison

This was inspired by my favorite Caesar salad at Panini Bakery in Nye Beach that uses whole romaine leaves as the “bowl”.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Albacore tuna 7.5 oz (lightly salted or no salt added)
  • Carrot-ginger-miso dressing (from Trader Joe’s)
  • Thai Chili Lime Almonds (Trader Joe’s)
  • Pistachios
  • 2 whole romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 carrot (shredded)
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Basil
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  1. Open 1 can of Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Albacore tuna (don’t drain the fish oil!) and flake with a fork into a bowl.
  2. Add the carrot-ginger-miso dressing, mix well and set aside.
  3. On a plate place 2 whole romaine lettuce leaves. Add the tuna to the inside of the leaves and shred a carrot over the top.
  4. Garnish with the nuts, cherry tomatoes and basil.
  5. Grind fresh cracked black pepper over the top and enjoy!
