If you don’t like Tuna, trust me, you will like this appetizer recipe. The wonton cups are the fun part, but the sweet and spicy salad inside is delicious. These Sweet and Spicy Tuna Wonton Cups are perfect to serve at parties and super easy to make. It’s so delicious you can just turn this into a huge salad and have it for lunch. You can try many different variations of this: skip the slivered almonds and add toasted ramen noodles or sunflower seeds. Try it with different lettuces or cabbage. This is my favorite variation. Enjoy!

I am not at all a tuna eater but these were amazing! I absolutely loved the flavor & no fishy taste! I’ve made them 2x in one week ♥♥♥
Love the little wontoneroonies! I’m going to sub some minced shrimp, eat enough tuna already! Bet they’d be awesome with canned red salmon too, which is wild-caught and very very mild.
These make such great appetizers! I may make it this weekend. I would use tuna(sauteed lightly) or chicken.
Gorgeous photos.

Hmm.. I don’t know. Do you think you could make raw wonton chips in the dehydrator?
This tuna doesn’t taste like tuna. It compliments the sweet flavor of the dressing perfect! But yes, chicken tastes delicious in this.
That actually looks really delicious! i wonder if i can make raw wonton chips..
OK – this sounds delicious except for the tuna. I can’t do tuna. But … I wonder how this would taste with chicken?
