Why You'll Love Avocado toast w/ Tuna Tartare❤️

It's luxe but effortless-big flavor, no filler. Think: sushi bar meets Saturday brunch. If you're not obsessed already, you will be after the first bite.

Tips and Tricks

• Use the freshest tuna you can find-ideally day-of.
• Chill your bowl before mixing the tartare to keep it ultra fresh.

Variations

• Swap tuna for sushi-grade salmon or hamachi.
• Add microgreens or thinly sliced radish for extra crunch.

Substitutions

• No yuzu kosho? Use lemon zest + a dab of wasabi as a backup.
• No capers? Try minced cornichons or pickled jalapeños for zip.

Best served with

• Iced matcha or a crisp white wine
• Light salad with citrus vinaigrette
• Seaweed chips or sesame crackers on the side

How to Store Leftovers

• Best eaten fresh, but components can be prepped ahead.
• Store tuna tartare covered on ice in the fridge for up to 1 day.
• Store crispy shallots in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
