Tuna Cucumber Lettuce Salad

This recipe combines diverse flavors and textures. The slightly tangy flavor of the Caesar dressing is a great accompaniment to the crunchy lettuce in this dish. The addition of jalapeños, ketchup, bbq sauce, and hot sauce imbues the dish with heat, balancing the mild flavors of the tuna and rice well.

1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, tuna, chopped onion, jalapeño, sliced pickles, and sliced roasted bell pepper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cream cheese together over low heat. Add the hot sauce, ketchup, and BBQ sauce into the mixture and stir well to combine.
3. Pour the sauce mixture over the rice and tuna, mixing well.
4. Layer the lettuce and sliced cucumber onto plates, then spoon the tuna and rice mixture over the top.
5. Sprinkle the chopped chives and shredded cheese over the top.
6. Lay the sliced mango and segmented orange around the dish.
7. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the top of the salad.
8. Serve immediately.
