Ingredients

Dressing

2 tablespoon Calamansi, Lemon, or Lime juice
2 tablespoon Olive oil
½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Salt

Tuna Crudo

½ English cucumber
½ lb Sushi grade tuna
½ Mango chopped
½ Avocado chopped or sliced
¼ Small Red onion thinly sliced
½ Jalapeno thinly sliced or finely chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice, olive oil, pepper, and salt. Set aside.
Thinly slice your cucumber, arrange the slices on your serving platter.
Thinly slice the tuna - about ¼" thick - arrange on your serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing.
Garnish with mango, avocado, red onion, and jalapeno slices.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Freezing the tuna for 10-15 minutes or so makes it easier to cut cleanly and evenly.

Use a thin, very sharp knife to cut the tuna. If possible, a sushi knife.

Don’t use a sawing motion when cutting the tuna - Make each cut in one motion, either towards or away from you, sliding the knife across and gently downward as you go.
