Here’s a simple recipe for making Tuna with Sprouts, a fresh and nutritious dish:

Ingredients (2-3 servings):

  • Canned tuna (or cooked fresh tuna): 1 can (~150g).
  • Sprouts: 100g (such as radish sprouts, mung bean sprouts, or sunflower sprouts).
  • Cherry tomatoes: 100g (cut in half).
  • Onion: 1/2 (thinly sliced, soaked in cold water to reduce pungency).
  • Cucumber: 1 (thinly sliced).
  • Fresh lemon: 1 (for juice).
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons.
  • Salt, pepper: to taste.
  • Honey (optional): 1 teaspoon.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the tuna:
    • If using canned tuna, drain the oil/water.
    • If fresh tuna is used, steam or boil it until cooked, then shred it into small pieces.
  2. Make the dressing:
    • Combine fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey in a small bowl. Stir well.
  3. Toss the vegetables:
    • Add the sprouts, cherry tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and tuna in a large bowl.
    • Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to mix without crushing the vegetables.
  4. Plate and serve:
    • Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle a little more pepper or add a few drops of olive oil for extra flavor.

Enjoy:

This dish is best served chilled and is perfect for a light meal or as an appetizer. 😊
