NHK recently had a nice program on cookbook author Harumi Kurihara. She talked a dish that was one of her family favorites, this very simple carrot salad. Crunchy julienned carrots with slivers of onions, canned tuna, and a simple vinaigrette. It's quick to assemble and was a hit at our dinner table. I am sure that we will be making this again in the future, especially as the ingredients are always on hand. I didn't include the garlic and liked it that way. She also suggests microwaving the carrots and onions and garlic for a minute but I was looking for a dish more like a cole slaw so skipped that step. This recipe is translated from a recipe I found online.
1 carrot julienned
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
1 can of tuna
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
1 Tbsp. salad oil
1 Tbsp. grain mustard
2 Tbsp. wine vinegar
soy sauce, salt, pepper to taste
Make the dressing of salad oil, mustard, vinegar and season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. In a large bowl combine the carrots, onions, and tuna. Dress with salad dressing, toss, and serve.
