What you'll need.

  • 100 g sweetcorn
  • 1 can of tuna, drained
  • 1 can of beans, drained
  • 1 apple, diced
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 2 pickled cucumbers, sliced
  • Jalapeno, sliced, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Mayonnaise, to taste
  • Wasabi, to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Whole grain bread, to serve

How to make it.

  1. In a bowl, combine the corn, tuna, beans, diced apple, red onion, pickled cucumbers and jalapeno.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in mayonnaise and a little wasabi to taste.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and fry the whole grain bread until crisp and golden.
  4. Spread the tuna and bean mixture generously over the toasted bread and serve.

My tips.

Drain the tuna and beans well so the salad stays thick. Start with a little wasabi and add more to taste, it adds a gentle kick without overpowering.

Good to know.

Can I make it ahead?
Mix the salad ahead and keep it chilled; fry the bread just before serving so it stays crisp.

Can I skip the wasabi?
Yes, a little mustard or extra pickle gives a similar tang.

Is it filling?
Very. The tuna and beans make it high in protein.
