Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams sashimi-grade tuna
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 small radishes (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon capers (rinsed and drained)
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 handful microgreens (optional garnish)
- 6 pieces whole grain crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, cut the sashimi-grade tuna into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange them flat on a chilled serving platter or individual plates.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and orange juice to create the citrus dressing.
Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the tuna slices, ensuring they are lightly coated but not drenched.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small, bite-sized cubes and distribute them evenly over the plated tuna.
Add thinly sliced radishes on top of the tuna and avocado for crunch and color. Sprinkle the capers and finely chopped fresh dill evenly over the dish.
Season the tuna crudo with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
For an optional garnish, scatter a handful of microgreens on top for added texture and visual appeal.
Serve immediately, pairing the tuna crudo with whole grain crackers on the side if desired. Enjoy this light and heart-healthy dish on its own or as part of a larger meal.
