Mango Tuna Sunflower Salad

Mango Tuna Sunflower Salad

When I was a kid growing up, I always thought that I didn’t like tuna fish.  In fact, it was the one thing I absolutely refused to eat.  My mom once made tuna casserole and told me it was “chicken of the sea” but I still didn’t like it.  Well, it turns out that it wasn’t tuna fish I didn’t like – it was tuna casserole!

At some point in college, I had my first grilled tuna steak and could not believe what I had been missing.  I began to try different dishes that had tuna in them and found quite a few that I liked and several that I really love.  My absolute favorite tuna salad not only tastes great, but it looks pretty cool too.  I first had it served to me at a friend’s house. She loved everything having to do with sunflowers and this salad fit right into her” theme”.  I’ve made it more times than I can count and it’s always a huge hit.

    I love this idea — mango paired with tuna is very original! I think I’ll try this for a pot luck that I’m headed to this weekend. 🙂 Thanks for working on this campaign with us! #client
