Oscar winning Tuna Salad

Every weekend is another reason to eat well and to celebrate something or other. If there is nothing to celebrate we enjoy an easy and relaxing but festive weekend at home with our puppy. Last weekend I wanted to make something special.... hmm... I was lost for ideas. I asked Lawrence if he had any special cravings. He had a simple one word dinner idea. TUNA.

Tuna sounds perfect. I bought two beautiful tuna steaks and instead of making our favorite sushi I made delicious tuna steaks. I will post the recipe for that tuna steak dish at a later date. However the most remarkable culinary invention was the reinvention of the left over tuna into an Oscar-winning Tuna Salad. I know, I know, who can believe that we didn't finish our steaks but they were very big and in reality it was me who didn't finish. What can I say, I was full.

The next day the leftover tuna became transformed into an amazing tuna salad with a delicious Asian flair. One of my best concoctions Lawrence declared. I'm not sure how accurate his review is since he loves everything I make but in his defence it was delicious, light yet filling. A perfect dinner salad.

As we sat watching the Oscars, eating this delicious salad and sipping our Champagne we couldn't imagine the stars having a better time and better food.
