Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Marinate the fresh tuna steak in lime juice, olive oil, and salt for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Tuna

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated tuna for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Avocado Mousse

    In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a little water until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cucumber Salad

    In a bowl, mix the sliced cucumber, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then toss gently.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the grilled tuna and plate it alongside the cucumber salad. Add a dollop of avocado mousse and garnish with crispy taro chips.
