Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Remove the diced tuna from the fridge and gently combine it with the avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and carefully toss to evenly distribute the flavors without mashing the avocado.
Taste the tartar and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, sea salt, or black pepper to taste.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant Tuna Tartar!
