Ingredients
  

For the Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1.5 teaspoons wasabi paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian salad dressing
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey or agave
For the Mix:
  • 1 can 5 oz quality tuna in oil, drained well
  • 1 medium red onion finely diced
  • 1 small green apple diced into small cubes.
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 4-5 dill pickle gherkins finely diced
  • Handful of crispy jalapeño chips
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Notes

Make sure you drain your tuna really well. Any excess liquid will dilute the dressing and make your salad watery. Use a fork to gently press it against the can to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
