Kitchen Science
Ingredients
⅔ cup Canned tuna
⅔ cup Cashews, soaked for 3 hours or more
1 tsp. Tahini
1 tsp. Mustard
2 Garlic cloves, minced
⅓ tsp. Turmeric
1 tbsp. Almond milk/water
1 tbsp. Lemon juice
1 tsp. Red pepper, chopped
3 tbsp. Basil, chopped
½ tsp. Dried dill
1 tsp. Tamari sauce
A dash of Black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Olives (optional)
Directions
Drain the cashews and put them in a blender or a hand blender until completely smooth.
- Blend till smooth the tahini, tamari, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, dill, turmeric, crushed red pepper, and almond milk. Mix until you get a creamy consistency.
- You may combine the tuna, basil, and olives (but check for salt before adding the olives, as they can make the salad excessively salty).
Suppose you don't want to use olives. In that case, you can add some celery, carrots, or other vegetables and toasted sesame seeds instead for added texture and flavor.
Toss in a pinch of black pepper and serve with your favorite vegetable! Cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, or cabbage leaves can all be used.
