Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sushi-grade Ahi tuna, finely diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Confirm your tuna is sushi-grade and keep it very cold until ready to use.

Notes

  • For a Nobu Style presentation, you can use a ring mold to shape the tartare before serving.

  • Always purchase sushi-grade tuna from a trusted source to ensure safety for this no cook tuna recipe.
