Never in a million years did I think I would be writing this post, but here I am. Matthew McConaughey’s tuna salad is having a moment on social media and I’m glad I tried it. When I first learned about this recipe, I was slightly taken aback by the addition of wasabi, frozen peas and apples, but I must say, this tuna salad, is quite delicious. The crunchiness of the corn, apple paired with the sweetness of the agave, and the spiciness of the wasabi and jalapeños makes this a winning combo. 10 out of 10 in my books.
