I love making tartars! But they don’t always have to be super fancy, using exclusive ingredients and hard to make. This is a perfect example of that! This is an easy, fresh and super delicious tartare made with canned tuna. It is seasoned with red onion, balsamic vinegar and some dijon mustard. I matched it with creamy and fresh avocado and fresh cherry tomatoes. This dish is really light and fresh, yet tasty and delicious at the same time. It is perfect to serve for lunch, as a starter or to include in a sharing dinner. It is both gluten, grain, dairy, oil free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Make sure to use a canned tuna of better quality.
- Drain the tuna well so that it isn’t too wet, otherwise you’ll not be able to make a firm tartare that doesn’t fall apart.
- I used a mold ring when assembling my tartar. But if you don’t have one you can use a bowl as well. But make sure to assembly the tartar the other way around, unless you don’t mind having the tomatoes at the bottom.
- Make sure to press down both the avocado and tuna tartare gently after adding each layer to make sure the tartare sits.

Instructions

- Assembly the tuna tartare by placing half of the avocado mixture at the bottom of a plate using a round mold (see note 1) making sure it gets a circulare form and stays in place. Gently push the avocado down to make sure it sit. Place the rest of the avocado in a seperate mold on a seperate plate.
