Maldivian Tuna Salad

prep time:: 5 Minutes

As once requested by you... the recipe for a delicious tuna salad straight from the watery nation of the Maldives.

ingredients

Canned(in water) or fresh minced tuna
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1/2 red onion (chopped finely)
1/4 c shredded coconut (unsweetened) (can add more to taste)
1/2 green pepper (chopped)

directions

Mix all ingredients together and let stand until marinated at least 30 minutes (can be left overnight). Serve cold or room temperature. You can add or take away ingredients according to taste.

notes

We first enjoyed this when just the two of us got to spend a day on a lovely boat in the Maldives. The backdrop was of azure waters, leaping mantas and a sunken boat sticking out of the water.
