1
Open the canned tuna and drain all the liquid thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
2
Prepare all vegetables: finely dice the onion and bell peppers into small pieces, mince the scotch bonnet pepper and garlic very fine. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the hot pepper.
3
Combine the drained tuna with mayonnaise, diced onions, bell peppers, minced scotch bonnet, and minced garlic in a bowl.
4
Season the mixture with sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, and flavored rice seasoning if desired. Mix well.
5
Taste the tuna mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
6
Wash the romaine lettuce or your preferred greens and chop. Arrange in a bowl or on a plate.
7
Add fresh chopped tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, and additional onion slices to the lettuce base.
8
Top the fresh vegetables with the tuna mixture and gently toss together to combine all ingredients evenly.
9
Optional: drizzle with your preferred dressing such as balsamic vinegar if desired, or serve as-is since the tuna mixture is already flavorful.
