Of course 'Asian food' would be a good choice. Considering ‘Asian’ means anything from Japanese to Chinese to Thai to Vietnam to Cambodian to Korean… yes.

Tonight I'm serving taco salad with pinto beans cooked from scratch and the last of our garden's lettuce (both uber-frugal). While your Thai tuna salad sounds good, I would have to go out and buy fish sauce and lemongrass. So, instead, I think I'll stick with my very low-cost curried tuna salad http://www.diamondcutlife.org/?s=curried+tuna+salad Incidentally, beans, tuna and most other meat substitutes have a lower carbon footprint than factory-farmed meat.

I need something different to do with canned tuna, so will give the sauce a try. Thanks for posting the recipe! I need something different to do with canned tuna, so will give the sauce a try.

I like to use shallots instead of green onion and add a healthy dose of cilantro. Thai tuna salad is so yummy! I like to use shallots instead of green onion and add a healthy dose of cilantro.

They are yummy, and you can use other types of veggies (I LOVE lightly pickled carrots, so that's what I used - just cut them into matchsticks and wait three days or so before eating them, since they take a bit longer to pickle than cukes do).

True, recipes are just meant to be guidelines. They are quite open to experimentation and variation. “That means taking this base Thai tuna salad recipe and experimenting with it until you find a variation that reflects your personal palate.”

I plan on putting up a few jars; I've missed having them. Think about cantaloupe pickles; they’re not hard and when you open a jar, the whole house smells like Christmas – cinnamon, spicy, tangy.

I'll find a couple dishes that I like and make them over and over again until either I or Jessie can't stand them anymore. I might add the Thai Tuna Salad to the rotation to freshen things up a bit.
