- 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Ensure the tuna is well-chilled and cut it into small, even cubes about 1/4 inch in size. Place it in a mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and the skin, and dice into small cubes similar in size to the tuna.
Finely dice the red onion and add it with the avocado to the bowl containing the tuna.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, juice of the lime, and sesame oil. Whisk well to combine.
Pour the dressing over the tuna, avocado, and onion mixture, then gently toss to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Carefully fold in the sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the tuna tartare immediately, garnished with additional cilantro leaves if desired.
