Tropical Albacore Salad Recipe - Cooking Index
This salad includes a unique dressing of yogurt flavored with chutney and ginger. Chutney, originally from India, is made from chopped fruits and spices. There are both sweet and sour varieties on the market today; use a sweet chutney for this recipe. Grated fresh ginger root adds zing to the dressing. Remember that ginger root can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks, or freeze it and grate the amount needed without thawing.
