Caffeine Free Citrus Tuna Ceviche
Bright, citrusy, and impossibly fresh, this ceviche is the kind of dish that makes a serious impression without requiring much time at the stove — or any time at all, really. Sushi-grade tuna gets a quick cure in fresh lime and orange juice with a hit of grated ginger, turning the cubes silky and tender on the outside while keeping that luscious, just-barely-cooked center intact. Crisp English cucumber, scallion greens, cilantro, and creamy avocado round everything out into something that feels both light and deeply satisfying. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine, so there's no label-reading required — just clean, whole foods doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The citrus marinade does the heavy lifting on flavor, meaning you don't need any sauces or additives that might sneak in unexpected stimulants. Fold it together gently, serve it immediately, and watch it disappear fast.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 12–15 minutes, until the tuna cubes are opaque on the outside but still have a slightly translucent, tender center — they should feel firm to a gentle press but not rubbery.
