Chinese salad with tuna and cucumber, a new cooking recipe for the Asian serial published in the Chef’s Handyman recipe blog.
‘East meets west’, like Chinese egg noodles with a French mayonnaise mustard dressing. A great salad!
Meals which can be prepared in advance are very comfortable. Chinese egg noodles are cooked through within no time. Cucumber and bell pepper will give color and the right twist. This salad is just delicious in taste. Macaroni can be used as well. I prefer the thin Chinese noodles.
