Ingredients

  • 8 oz sushi-grade tuna
  • 1 avocado
  • 3 scallions
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice the 8 oz tuna into 1/4-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Dice the 1 avocado into similar-sized cubes and add to the bowl.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the 3 scallions, separating white and green parts. Add the white parts to the tuna mixture; reserve the green parts for garnish.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and juice of the 1 lime.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the tuna and avocado, then gently toss to coat without mashing the avocado.

  5. 5

    Divide the tartare between two plates. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and the 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

  6. 6

    Optional: add a pinch of chili flakes or grated ginger for extra kick.
