🥒 5 baby cucumbers, diced
🍅 5 Roma tomatoes, diced
🌿 1.5 cups pre-made seaweed salad from a local college market

🥫 Just Mayo vegan mayonnaise, amounts adjusted to desired creaminess
Instructions
1- Prepare the Vegan Tuna:
- Empty the Worthington vegan tuna roll into a large wooden mixing bowl.
- Use a metal serving spoon to break up the vegan tuna into small, flaky pieces.
2- Add Lime Juice:
- Squeeze the juice of 2 to 3 limes over the broken-up vegan tuna, depending on your tartness preference. Mix well to incorporate the juice.
3- Mix in Aromatics:
- Add the diced red onions, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, and chopped jalapeño. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
4- Incorporate Vegetables:

5- Add Seaweed Salad:

6- Bind with Vegan Mayo:
