Ingredients

• 226 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 medium, ripe Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 1 stalk, finely chopped Green onions
• 0.5 medium, finely diced Cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes, around 1/4-inch in size. Ensure your knife is sharp for a clean cut.

Step 2

Peel and pit the avocado. Dice it into cubes similar in size to the tuna.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to form the dressing.

Step 4

Add the diced tuna into the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the tuna evenly, then set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 5

Add finely chopped green onions, diced cucumber, black sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro to the tuna mixture. Gently fold in these ingredients to combine.

Step 6

Finally, add the avocado to the tuna mixture and gently mix to integrate without mashing the avocado.

Step 7

Taste and adjust flavors if necessary – adding a bit more lime juice or cilantro to balance the flavor as desired.

Step 8

To serve, you can use a mold to shape the tartare tightly on a plate or simply spoon the mixture stylishly. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant taste.
