  1. rfinger22 REVIEW:

    So, I thought the idea was good, but could use slight tweaking. I didn't use the radish sprouts (didn't know what they were, where to get them, and I don't like radishes, so it made them unappealing). So, I thought this would turn out into a nice, fancy salad that you might see at a nice restaurant. Sure enough, IT DID!!!! The sauce was a perfect dressing, the tuna was PERFECT!!! I put it on a bed of mixed greens, sprinkled some cherry tomatoes around it, was going to use the cucumbers on it (just forgot), but it was absolutely wonderful. I did use horseradish instead of wasabi because it was hard to find and expensive when I did find it, but I didn't think it made a difference in how it tasted. This was the type of recipe I'd see in a fancy restaurant, it was incredibly easy to make, and it tasted incredibly good as a salad. Would make this again!!!
