It’s summer and Pink Lady® is brimming with ideas! Here is a marinated tuna tataki recipe that packs a punch!
Delicious and crunchy, the Pink Lady® apple is at the heart of this summer dish. Finely sliced, it is delicate on the palate and reveals all its unique flavour. Its litchi/vanilla fragrance is the perfect partner for tuna marinated in spices and grilled sesame seeds.
The light and slightly sharp sauce compliments the toasted sesame and soft, dense tuna.
Let Pink Lady® take you on an epicurean journey, and dive into the exotic with this refreshing recipe.

Pink Lady® top tip
For a stronger flavour and even more visually striking dish, mix golden and black sesame seeds for the ‘crust’.
