Sushi Salad
"This wonderful dish may not be quite authentic with the addition of Old Bay Seasoning but it is delicious and super-easy to make. I have made it with both tuna and salmon which has not made any difference to the flavour."

Really yummy! I think it's crucial to use fresh tuna (as written) in this salad. You just won't get the same result with canned/pouched tuna. I seared my tuna on both sides, leaving the middle very rare before slicing. The dressing went perfectly with this. Next time I will add some avocado slices. Thanx for sharing! -
This is sooooo good! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dressing! I used two 8oz cans of Wild Oats natural smoked light tuna slices in water (good stuff). I waited to add the green onions until I served it and then I sprinkled toasted sesame seeds over it in place of the almonds. I served it atop cold sushi rice. I wish I'd had wasabi and pickled ginger but I forgot to add them to my grocery list because it wasn't listed in the ingredients. I will be making this again! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders. -
Very nice dressing. I enjoyed this. It was easy to make. Instead of almonds, I used toasted sesame seeds; and salmon for the fish. I love the sesame oil flavor. Nice recipe Bokenpop. -
Yummy yummy yummy! I don't normally like rice with my main meal ingredients, cause it tends to make the meal very stodgy, but in this case, it was a perfect accompaniment. We had just this and it was light and just FELT like a healthy meal! Thank you for a fabulous dinner! -
Enjoyed this salad very much! Instead of fresh tuna I used the pouch's of Star Kist tuna I believe the brand was. Made this in the afternoon and let sit in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Wonderful fresh flavors! The dressing really works great with the tuna and cucumbers. Thank you Bokenpop for posting this recipe!

I was born and raised in South Africa but now live in Delaware USA. Since I can remember I have been cooking! My first real cooking experience was when I was 7. I came home from school one afternoon and felt like French toast. My elder brother was home with his friends and did not want to make it for me, so I got a pan out, put it on the stove, turned the stove on to high. After that I could not remember what to do, but I knew that French toast involved bread so I put the bread in the hot pan without grease and poured milk over it! Oy vey... My brother's friend asked me what I was trying to make and I told him. He laughed and told me I was making it wrong but he also taught me how to make French toast the right way. I came home every day after that and made French toast. I felt so confident with the little bit of knowledge I had acquired that I soon started experimenting with other things. Nothing was going to stop me! The first full meal I ever made for my family was boiled rice and oven roasted chicken pieces with a steamed vegetable medley. I was 8 years old and my mom was in hospital. My dad was struggling to hold down an intensely busy job, keep the family going and be with my mom, so I thought I would help him. I don't think he believed that I had done it on my own. I remember telling him that I read in a cookery book how to make a roast chicken but I did not know what "a" rosemary was so I just put the chicken in the dish without it. Decades later with a myriad tried and tested recipes behind me - flops and failures included - I know my way around any food item and kitchen utensil, much to my family's delight!
