Ingredients

• 225 grams Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 60 milliliters Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 30 milliliters Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 15 milliliters Orange juice (freshly squeezed, optional for a hint of sweetness)
• 0.5 medium (finely diced) Red onion
• 0.5 medium (deseeded and finely diced) Cucumber
• 1 medium (diced into small cubes) Avocado
• 1 small (finely diced) Jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Ensure your fresh tuna is sushi-grade and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to prepare it.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut the tuna into small, uniform cubes (around 1/2 inch in size) and place the cubes into a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice (if using) over the tuna. Stir gently to coat all the tuna pieces.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. The acidity of the citrus juices will 'cook' the tuna during this time.

Step 5

While the tuna marinates, prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the red onion, cucumber, and jalapeño. Cube the avocado and chop the cilantro.

Step 6

After marinating, remove the tuna from the refrigerator and gently stir in the diced onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and avocado.

Step 7

Add the chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

Step 9

Serve the tuna ceviche immediately as a standalone dish, on lettuce leaves as a low-carb wrap, or accompanied by cucumber slices for scooping. Enjoy your refreshing and healthy meal!
