Ingredients

• 8 ounces Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 teaspoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for flavor, Whole30-compliant)
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Chill the tuna in the refrigerator to keep it firm for easier cutting. Once chilled, use a sharp knife to dice the tuna into small, even cubes (approximately 1/4-inch pieces). Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl and set aside in the fridge.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables by peeling, pitting, and dicing the avocado into small cubes. Dice the cucumber into similar-sized pieces and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if desired) to create the dressing.

Step 4

Remove the diced tuna from the fridge and gently combine it with the avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and carefully toss to evenly distribute the flavors without mashing the avocado.

Step 6

Taste the tartar and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, sea salt, or black pepper to taste.

Step 7

To serve, use a ring mold to shape individual servings on small plates, or simply spoon it into a bowl. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant Tuna Tartar!
