The green curry paste tastes great with the tuna! I played it safe and only used 1 tsp. since mine is pretty strong, but will up it to 1 1/2 tsp. next time. I only used half an apple (which was still a lot of apple) and omitted the mayo all together. This only takes 5 minutes to make but I did chill it for over 30 minutes which always makes tuna salad taste better.

Really nice. I used red curry paste. My green apple was none too sweet and I think a sweeter apple would have nicely complimented the flavours here. Also I used whole wheat bread but it interfered with the taste of the filling so I'd try either a wrap or some white bread next time if using as a filling. Use good quality tuna.
