Ingredients

• 200 grams sashimi-grade salmon
• 200 grams sashimi-grade tuna
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 medium cucumber
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 large avocado
• 50 grams black olives
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 large lemon
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup fresh mint
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, pit and slice the avocado, slice the black olives, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 3

Chop the fresh parsley and mint finely. Combine them in a small bowl.

Step 4

Slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna thinly yet substantially enough to hold their shape in the bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

To assemble the bowl, divide the cooked quinoa into 4 serving bowls. Arrange the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, olives, and red onion evenly over the quinoa in each bowl.

Step 7

Place the salmon and tuna sashimi slices artfully over the arranged vegetables.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon olive oil dressing over the top of the sashimi and vegetables.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with the chopped parsley and mint mixture for a fresh flavor burst.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Sashimi Bowl!
