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. 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  2. ½ teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

  3. ¼ teaspoon honey

  4. ¼ cup thinly sliced English cucumber

  6. 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion

  7. ½ teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce

  8. ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  9. Pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)

  10. 2 ½ ounces no-salt-added water-packed canned tuna, drained

  11. 1 toasted whole-wheat English muffin

Directions

  1. Whisk vinegar, soy sauce and honey together in a small bowl. Add cucumber slices and toss to coat. Set aside.

  2. Combine mayonnaise, scallion, Sriracha (or other hot sauce), sesame oil and crushed red pepper, if using, in another small bowl. Stir in tuna.
