Red Curry Tuna Salad

Ingredients

• 4 cans tuna (5 oz each), drained very well (oil-packed preferred)
• 8 tbsp mayonnaise
• 4 tsp Maesri red curry paste
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• 2 tsp brown sugar (or honey)
• 2 stalk celery stalk, finely diced
• 4 tbsp red onion or scallions, finely diced
• 4 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 4 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts (or cashews)
• heart of romaine

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk mayo, curry paste, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar until smooth.
2. Fold in tuna, celery, onion/scallions, cilantro, and peanuts.
3. Taste and adjust: More lime if it needs brightness; a tiny bit more sugar if it tastes sharp; up to another 1/2 tsp curry paste if you want more heat.
4. Chill 10 minutes if you can (it tightens up and tastes more integrated).
5. Serve on bed of lettuce.
