- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Start by finely chopping the sushi-grade tuna into small, evenly-sized cubes and place them into a mixing bowl. Ensure your knife is sharp to maintain the texture of the tuna.
2. Dice the avocado into small cubes approximately the same size as the tuna. Add the avocado to the bowl with the tuna.
3. Finely mince the red onion to ensure it integrates well without overpowering the dish, and add it to the mixture.
4. Peel and dice the cucumber, then gently fold it into the tuna and avocado mix, maintaining the integrity of the ingredients.
5. Chop the cilantro leaves finely and mix them into the tuna mixture for a fresh, aromatic flavor.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
7. Drizzle the lime juice mixture over the tuna mixture. Use a spoon to gently combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
9. Before serving, drizzle a teaspoon of avocado oil over the tuna tartare for an additional layer of richness.
10. Present the tuna tartare on a chilled plate or use a ring mold for an elegant look. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish.
11. Serve immediately as a light appetizer or main course option that's full of flavor and paleo-friendly.
