Recipe

Make Tuna Tartare Like An Adult

By Julia Murphy at Spoon University

Tuna isn’t just that smelly stuff your mom slapped between two slices of whole grain to help diversify your PB&J portfolio when you were younger. When not tucked into a mysterious silver pouch, it is a wonderful steak-y fish that is rich in omega-3s and antioxidants. Tuna tartare is a dish of finely chopped raw sushi-grade (this is a must) tuna that goes great with avocado and soy sauce. This recipe is perfect to serve up this summer and has the added benefit of making you look super sophisticated.
