Sambal tappa

Sambal tappa is a traditional salad originating from Ambon, Maluku, where fresh tuna is abundant. The salad is made with a combination of tuna, unripe mangoes, shallots, coconut milk, salt, and white pepper. The mango is sliced into matchsticks, then sprinkled with salt and squeezed to remove as much liquid as possible. It is then mixed with flaked tuna, white pepper, coconut milk, and shallots in a large bowl. Sambal tappa is traditionally served well-chilled.
