~ Avocado Salad with Tuna Milk Dressing

Image1926

Taken from:
Tiffany's

Description:
A treat for the heart

Ingredients:
1 can (185g) tuna flakes in water, drained
200 ml milk
1 tbsp potato starch

1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 large apple, diced
1 small tomato, diced
1 tbsp raisins
4 dried apricots, diced
Handful of roasted cashews

Directions:
1) Dissolve potato starch in milk in a saucepan, and stir in the tuna. Simmer for around 10 min to desired consistency. Set aside to cool.
2) Toss all the fruits, tomato and nuts together with the tuna milk dressing.

Remarks:
I was too ravenous and impatient to wait for the tuna dressing to cool so I just had it warm, which wasn't that bad. The combination of salad was rather unique - sweetness of apple and dried fruits, creaminess of "guacamole", savoury crunch of cashews, cloaked in a rich tuna milk sauce. It's either love, or hate.
