LIME TUNA, AVOCADO AND CHILLI SALAD

Serves: 2 - Preparation time: 5 mins - Cooking time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 200 g tuna steak

• 1/2 small red onion

• 2 limes

• handful of fresh spinach, torn

• 1 ripe avocado

• 1 fresh red chilli

• 2 tsp sesame oil

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Salt to taste

Method

- Ask your at your local fish market for sashimi-quality tuna steak, rather than grabbing something pre-packed off the shelf. Start by peeling and slicing the red onion, slicing the avocado, then zesting and juicing the limes. De-seed and finely chop the fiery chilli.

- Slice the tuna into fine strips, place it in a bowl and set aside. Soak your red onion slices in some cold water to mellow the taste, as before.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the zest, juice, sesame oil, diced chilli and oil. Pour the dressing over your tuna and gently mix – as soon as the acid from citrus fruit hits the tuna it will begin to ‘cook’ it so you only need to mix lightly,

- Now drain the onion slices and throw them into a large bowl. Tip in the tuna strips, along with all of the dressing, and top with the sliced avocado and spinach leaves. Devour immediately.
