Description: This is a Japanese-flavored salad. You can prepare it in advance and cool it down in the fridge so that the seasonings will be absorbed into the ingredients.
Serves: 2
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- Cucumber – cut into stripes, 1/2 piece or 160g
- Sesame oil – 2 teaspoons
- Miso – 2 teaspoons
- Sesame seeds – ground, 2 tablespoons
- Soy sauce – 1 teaspoon
- Tomato – chopped, 1 piece or 80g
- Tuna tin – 1 small or 60g
- Garlic – pureed, 1 clove
Method
1.Mix all the seasonings (save some sesame seeds for topping) well in a small bowl.
2.Combine the cucumber, tomato, and tuna in a separate bowl.
To Serve: Sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds. If you chill the salad in the fridge for about an hour, the sauce will be absorbed, and the flavour will be even better.

Nutritional Tips
The benefits of tuna are not limited to fresh tuna; tinned tuna is also beneficial to our health. It’s recommended to consume two portions of fish per week (one of which should be oily fish). Tuna is considered a white fish, although it used to be considered an oily fish.
It may not be easy to buy fresh fish all the time. However, you can keep cupboard foods at home, including tinned tuna or any tinned fish, so you can add a portion of fish whenever you want. These cupboard foods can be stored for a long time.
