Ingredients

½ lb Ahi Tuna (frozen and/or sushi grade)
1 small/medium avocado, diced
2 tbsp cucumber, peeled and diced (optional – adds texture)
¼ cup green onion (green parts), sliced + 1-2 tbsp to finish
2 tbsp + 2 tsp (1/6 cup) low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp (about half of a small lemon) lemon juice
1 tbsp sesame oil
1.5 tsp chili sauce (sriracha)
½ tsp finely grated (micro-planed) fresh ginger
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, sprinkled on top at the end

Directions

Add ¼ cup of the chopped green onion, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and ginger in a non-reactive bowl (discussed in this blog post: ). Mix together thoroughly with a whisk. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to let flavors marry.
Cut the tuna into ¼ inch cubes and add to the mixture. Stir together gently, coating the fish. Refrigerate for about 10 more minutes (no longer, as the fish may become mushy).
Add diced avocado (and cucumber, if using), stir together gently.
Top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately with chopsticks or toothpicks.

Ingredients

1 small/medium ripe avocado
1 lime, juiced
2 tsp orange juice
½ of a small tomato, diced with no seeds
2 tbsp finely diced onion (yellow or red)
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ of a jalapeno, seeded and minced (leave a few seeds if you want to add heat)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves
½ tsp cumin powder
¼ tsp kosher salt (or to taste)

Directions

Halve avocado. Discard the pit and scoop out the avocado from within the skin. Put it directly into a non-reactive bowl or mortar.
Use the pestle, a potato masher, or a fork until avocado is desired consistency (I prefer some small chunks of avocado in mine).
Add lime/orange juice, mix thoroughly with a spoon.
Add tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro leaves, and cumin.
Add salt and stir together – remember, you can always add more salt, so start with a small amount and give it a try. Because of the citrus zing and other flavorful additions, you may not require much sodium (also remember that there is salt on chips, so it is smart to use one when doing your final taste test.
Once the guacamole is seasoned to your liking (add a little ground cayenne if you want more kick) and serve with multigrain chips/carrot sticks or other vegetables/on sandwiches/with burgers/in wraps/with fish tacos/etc.
