Mango & Cucumber Asian-Inspired Summer Salsa & Mango, Avocado, & Tuna Stacks

Ahi Tuna and Asian-Inspired food are definitely a few of my favorite things. Anytime I visit a restaurant with seared tuna or marinated tuna on the menu, it’s always my first choice. I just love the bright, fresh flavors. I was completely inspired by this seasoning that I ordered that reminds me of last year in Hawaii. I knew that I wanted to recreate some of the flavors that we enjoyed since a vacation is kind of far away right now.

Mango & Cucumber Asian-Inspired Summer Salsa

This delicious summer salsa is made with cucumber, mango, yellow bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, red onion, a little sesame oil, lime juice, and delicious Furikake seasoning. I used some of the same seasonings in the Ahi Tuna stack, but added delicious avocado, mango, and a pineapple soy sauce marinade for added flavor.

I love to make these wonton chips. They are so good and perfect with both the salsa and the Ahi Tuna stack. Best of all they take only a few seconds to cook. (Check out my other recipes using wontons here and here. )
