Bonito Tuna & Cherry Tomato Salad

If you like your seafood tapas then this simple and easy to knock up Bonito tuna salad is sure not to disappoint!

Ingredients:

250g Cured Bonito tuna

250g Cherry tomatoes

1 Small red pepper

1 Handful of fresh rocket or baby spinach leaves

Extra virgin olive oil



How to Prep:

1. Cut around 250g of the bonito tuna loin using a long sharp knife (jamonero is ideal), ideally the loin should be cut into thin strips about a cm wide similar to salted anchovies.

2. In a large salad bowl place the rocket/spinach leaves

3. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the bowl.

4. Slice the red pepper and add.

5. Toss the ingredients, adding a generous amount of gourmet extra virgin olive oil.

6. Place the strips of tuna over the top.

7. Serve with fresh crusty bread.

This salad is great as a starter or "racione" for perhaps 2 - 3 people.

Why not make it a seafood affair with some calamari?
