1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce (certified gluten-free if necessary)

4 cups salad greens

2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage

1/2 cup thinly sliced English cucumber

1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion

2 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts

sesame seeds, to taste

Directions:

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the ingredients for salad dressing (first 9). It makes 6 ounces.

2. In a bowl, flake the tuna, and combine it with a third of the salad dressing (1/4 cup). If the tuna is unsalted, add 1/4 teaspoon salt as well. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes. In a salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cabbage, cucumber, red onion, green onions and peanuts.

3. Toss in the marinated tuna. Add the remaining dressing to taste, and divide between 2 plates. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Bon Appetit!
