Spicy Tuna Salad English Muffin Sandwich
This quick lunch idea has a delicious balance of flavors. A slightly spicy Sriracha-mayonnaise mixture adds heat to the tuna salad, while the quick-pickled cucumbers provide brightness. Be sure to toast the English muffin so the sandwich doesn't get soggy.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon honey
- ¼ cup thinly sliced english cucumber
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion
- ½ teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
- 2 ½ ounces no-salt-added water-packed canned tuna, drained
- 1 toasted whole-wheat english muffin
Directions
- Whisk vinegar, soy sauce and honey together in a small bowl. Add cucumber slices and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Combine mayonnaise, scallion, Sriracha (or other hot sauce), sesame oil and crushed red pepper, if using, in another small bowl. Stir in tuna.
- Drain the cucumbers. Spoon the tuna mixture onto one muffin half; top with the cucumbers. Cover with the other muffin half.
