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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and orange juice to create the citrus dressing.

Step 3

Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the tuna slices, ensuring they are lightly coated but not drenched.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Season the tuna crudo with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

For an optional garnish, scatter a handful of microgreens on top for added texture and visual appeal.

Step 8

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.
