Almond Free Ginger-Lime Tuna Slaw with Avocado
This dish is a vibrant, restaurant-worthy plate that comes together with surprisingly little effort. Crisp green and purple cabbage, julienned carrots, scallions, and fresh cilantro get tossed in a punchy lime-ginger dressing built on coconut aminos, citrus zest, and turmeric ā bold, bright flavors that make the slaw the kind of thing you want to eat straight from the bowl. The seared tuna steaks get a quick marinade in the same flavor profile before hitting a hot skillet, developing a golden crust while staying tender inside. Creamy avocado slices round everything out, adding richness that balances the zippy dressing beautifully. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out ā it just works as written. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks impressive enough for company but doesn't ask much of you at all.
