- 0.5 avocado, diced
- 50 grams cucumber, finely diced
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 10 grams microgreens (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Using a sharp knife, carefully dice the sushi-grade tuna into small, even cubes (around 0.5 cm in size). Place the diced tuna into a chilled mixing bowl to keep it fresh.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
Step 3
Add the prepared dressing to the tuna and gently toss to coat evenly. Be careful not to over-mix to preserve the tuna's texture.
Step 4
Fold in the finely chopped chives, cilantro, minced red chili, diced cucumber, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Step 5
To assemble, use a ring mold or small bowl to shape the tuna tartar neatly. If using a bowl, gently press down and invert onto the serving plate.
Step 6
Top the tuna tartar with diced avocado, arranging it neatly for presentation.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with microgreens for an added touch of flavor and elegance.
Step 8
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the dish. Pair with crispy whole-grain crackers or serve it on its own for a light, low-fat appetizer.
