ASIAN TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Next add the tamari, chili powder, cayenne, and sesame oil to taste. Sometimes I like it spicier, sometimes I like more salt, etc.
• Finally, add the cranberries and sesame seeds and serve.
• I like to eat it on a bed of lettuce or in individual romaine leaves like a tuna salad burrito. My favorite way to serve it is on top of lettuce, but you can also serve it with your favorite gluten-free bread.

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Add 1/4 cup of the prepared sauce and cook until thickened, about 30 seconds, scraping up any browned bits. Transfer the stir-fry to a bowl; top with the scallions and peanuts.
