Fiery Tuna Salad

So for this blog I’m going to share one of my favorite tuna salad recipes. This isn’t your typical deli style tuna salad. What you’ll need is about half a cup of corn, one clove of garlic, olive oil, one tablespoon of mayo and Sriracha. If you don’t like spicy foods, this may not be the dish for you because this recipe is sure to clear your sinuses.

The first thing you’re going to do is heat up a frying pan and add about two tablespoons of olive oil. Then you’re going to add the half a cup of corn to your heated pan. I like to season my corn with onion powder and garlic powder. Once the corn has been cooking for about 2 minutes, you’re going to mince the garlic clove and add it to your pan. Your kitchen will be filled with amazing aromas at this point. Once the corn and the garlic have caramelized, you’re going to pour it into bowl to let it cool down while you prepare the tuna. Next, you’re going to open two bags of  2.5oz tuna bags and put the tuna in a mixing bowl. Now comes the Sriracha. I usually just eyeball the amount I use. I squeeze and mix and squeeze and mix the Sriracha until all the tuna turns a light colored red. Next you’re going to add 1 tablespoon of mayo. The mayo adds a tad of creaminess to the tuna salad. And last but not least, you mix in your garlic flavored fire roasted corn to your concoction. I sometimes like to add toasted sesame seeds to give it a little crunch. I know this isn’t your typical tuna salad, but this unique dish is definitely worth a try!
