Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 80 ml Lime juice
• 40 ml Lemon juice
• 1 small (finely diced) Red onion
• 1 medium (deseeded and diced) Roma tomato
• 1 small (deseeded and diced) Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Cilantro
• 1 small (finely diced – optional for heat) Jalapeño
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 medium (cubed – optional for garnish) Avocado
• 4 whole Crisp lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by ensuring your fresh sushi-grade tuna is properly stored and chilled before preparation to maintain its quality and safety.

Step 2

2. Using a sharp knife, dice the tuna into small, evenly sized cubes (about 1 cm). Place the diced tuna in a shallow, non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic).

Step 3

3. Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the tuna, ensuring it is fully submerged. Gently toss to coat the tuna in the citrus juices.

Step 4

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes, allowing the citrus juices to 'cook' the tuna. Stir gently once or twice during this process.

Step 5

5. While the tuna is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño (if using). Finely chop the cilantro.

Step 6

6. After the tuna has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Drain about half of the citrus marinade (retain more if you like it juicier).

Step 7

7. Add the prepared vegetables (red onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño) and cilantro to the marinated tuna. Stir gently to combine.

Step 8

8. Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

9. For serving, spoon the ceviche into crisp lettuce leaves to create an easy-to-eat and healthy vessel. Optionally, garnish with cubed avocado for extra creaminess.

Step 10

10. Serve immediately and enjoy this light, flavorful, and low-fat tuna ceviche!
