Ginger Soy Tuna Salad Sandwich

This Ginger Soy Tuna Salad Sandwich has a sriracha mayo soy ginger tuna salad and a crunchy springy slaw for a bright, crunchy Asian-style tuna salad sandwich.

This soy ginger tuna salad sandwich is everything I want from a spring lunch—fresh, crunchy, and packed with flavor. I used this Soy Ginger Tuna from Fishwife but you can add ginger and soy sauce to classic tinned tuna for the same flavors. The flavor from soy sauce and ginger gives the tuna salty, zingy depth that makes it feel lighter and more vibrant than the classic version. Layered onto bread with a crisp shaved tri-color carrot salad, it brings the perfect contrast of creamy and crunchy in every bite.

What really makes this sandwich feel so seasonal is that gorgeous carrot slaw on top. The ribbons of orange, yellow, and purple carrots mixed with chopped scallions and purple cabbage add color, crunch, and that unmistakable spring produce energy. Finished with a simple rice vinegar and honey drizzle, the topping brings just enough sweet tang to balance the richness of the tuna, making this sandwich feel bright, and perfect for an easy lunch or picnic-style dinner.

Notes

Note: If you use regular tuna, I would add a tsp of soy sauce and 1/2 tsp shaved ginger to the tuna to get that flavor.
