Ingredients

1 1/4	Pounds	ahi tuna loin	fresh, medium dice
3/4	cup	cucumber	diced, seeded, peeled
1/2	cup	tomatoes	italian roma style, seeded and diced
1/2	cup	red onion	sweet, finely chopped
1/3	cup	lime juice	fresh
2	tablespoons	olive oil
1/2	teaspoon	hot pepper sesame oil	(or to taste)
1	x	salt and black pepper	freshly ground
1/4	cup	cilantro leaves	fresh, coarsely chopped
1	x	wonton wrappers

garnish
1	x	scallions, spring or green onions	thinly sliced
1	x	sesame seeds	toasted
1	x	caviar	tobiko, if desired

Directions

In a non-reactive bowl, combine the Ahi, cucumber, tomato, onion, lime juice, oils and salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and refrigerate and allow to marinate 30 minutes.

Remove 20 minutes before serving and stir in cilantro.

Serve on baked wontons garnished with green onions, sesame seeds and Tobiko, if desired.

This is based on an appetizer mixture served universally throughout Hawaii.

Add/substitute whatever other fresh, seasonal crunchy vegetable you can find such as jicama, fresh water chestnuts, parsnips, etc.

BAKED WONTONS: This is more a technique than a hard and fast recipe.

Beat 4 egg whites with a tablespoon of water until frothy.

With a pastry brush, lightly paint wonton skins with the mixture and arrange in a single layer on non-stick or parchment lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 5-8 minutes or until wontons are lightly browned and crisp.

You can sprinkle the brushed but unbaked wontons with sesame seed, Kosher salt, poppy seed or whatever to add interest.

Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.

Last Christmas was a weird experience in itself. First of all, as a college student you get a longer Christmas break because you finish exams early....

Frozen Cranberry Salad

This recipe is to die for! My sister makes it every year for Thanksgiving, and after I told a friend about it, she asked for the recipe. Rather than wait for my sister to reply, I looked it up and here it is! I highly recommend this!
