Sesame Tuna Salad

Wonderful as written, but easily adapted Everyone in my family, including my 8 year old, loves this recipe. It is a frequent dinner when the weather is hot. The salad is forgiving of substitutions or forgotten ingredients.

Quick and easy lunchI saw this recipe and wanted to make it on the spot. I didn't have napa cabbage or snow peas, so I used some shredded carrot and regular green leaf lettuce. It was great, and I didn't think the amount of sesame oil was overpowering (disclaimer - I do love sesame). I'm sure it would be delicious with the other ingredients as well. Though I made it at home and ate it right away for lunch, I think it would travel well.Pros: Uses ingredients I had on hand, easy to makeCons: Can't really think of any

I absolutely loved this. Made it with less sesame oil than called for - to my taste a little sesame oil goes a long way. I also made it for one, cutting everything into one-fourth amounts except for the sesame oil and ginger (used less than one-fourth.. just a few drops of sesame oil). Also I had broccoli slaw on hand and spinach, so used a combo of that instead of the napa cabbage. Quick, and nice change of pace from same old-same old tuna salad.
