Mushroom Free Ginger-Lime Tuna Slaw with Avocado
Bright, zesty, and loaded with color, this dish is a serious crowd-pleaser that comes together with nothing but clean, whole ingredients. The slaw is a crunchy mix of green and purple cabbage, julienned carrots, scallion greens, and fresh cilantro, all tossed in a punchy lime-ginger dressing built on coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, and turmeric. It's the kind of dressing that makes you want to eat the whole bowl before the tuna even hits the pan. Speaking of which, the seared tuna steaks get a quick marinade of coconut aminos, turmeric, and ground ginger before hitting a hot skillet ā just a couple of minutes per side for a beautifully golden crust and a fully cooked, tender center. Creamy sliced avocado rounds everything out and balances the citrusy heat in the best possible way. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of fungi and fungal derivatives, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out ā it just works as written. This is the kind of weeknight plate that looks like you tried way harder than you actually did.
