STEP 2

Season and taste. If necessary add remaining 1/2 tbsp. of pickled jalapeño liquid or lime juice. Place salad in fridge for 15 to 20 min. (optional) Serve on a sandwich or on tostadas.

If you cannot find vegan mayo or don’t have it on hand, you can use mashed avocado instead. I prefer this salad cold, thus the time resting in the fridge, but it is not necessary. You can also add 1 tbsp. of nori flakes to make the salad more “fishy”.
