Description

These Watermelon Radish Tuna Bites are a fresh and vibrant appetizer featuring crisp watermelon radish slices topped with a creamy, slightly spicy tuna salad. Perfect for a light snack or elegant starter, they combine crunch, tang, and umami in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 watermelon radish
  • 2 tablespoons microgreens

Tuna Salad

  • 1 can tuna, drained
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • pinch of paprika


Instructions

  1. Prepare the radish slices: Slice the watermelon radish into thin 1/8 inch rounds, creating crisp, colorful bases for the tuna topping.
  2. Make the tuna mixture: In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna with mayonnaise, sriracha, and kosher salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed and creamy.
  3. Assemble the bites: Spoon a dollop of the tuna mixture onto each radish slice. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over each topped slice for subtle smoky flavor and garnish with fresh microgreens to add a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Use thin slices of watermelon radish for the best bite-sized appetizers.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity for desired spice level or omit for milder flavor.
  • These bites are best served fresh but can be chilled briefly before serving to enhance flavor melding.
  • Substitute microgreens with fresh herbs like dill or parsley if unavailable.
