Ingredients:

Serving

3 carrots, shredded
1 (12 oz) can tuna in water, drained, rinsed and flaked
6 basil leaves, chopped
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp oil

Directions:

Grate carrots (I prefer to do this on a box grater - I like the texture better than in a food processor).
Rinse/drain/flake the tuna.
Chop/chiffonade basil leaves.
Drain water chestnuts and chop them up.
Chop the green onions.
Mix the above together.
Whisk final 3 ingredients to combine and then pour on carrot/tuna mixture.
Cover and cool for a few hours before eating.
Salt as needed.
