This Ahi Tuna Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. With fresh ahi tuna as the star ingredient, this recipe is not only delicious but also packed with protein and healthy fats. The tuna is marinated in a zesty mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and serrano peppers, giving it a tangy kick. The addition of mint leaves and black sesame seeds adds a refreshing touch and a subtle crunch. Served on crackers, chips, micro-greens, or roasted sweet potato slices, this ceviche is a unique and impressive dish that's sure to impress.

What sets this recipe apart is the simplicity of its preparation. The tuna is ready to eat as soon as it's tossed and coated in the marinade, and the cooking process is entirely dependent on the acidity of the lime juice. This means you can enjoy melt-in-your-mouth tender and moist tuna without any actual cooking required. However, if you prefer, you can also marinate the tuna for a few minutes to enhance the flavors even further.

This Ahi Tuna Ceviche is not just a tasty treat; it's also a nutritious one. With a good balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, it provides a well-rounded meal. Plus, it's gluten-free and dairy-free, making it an excellent option for those with dietary restrictions. So, if you're looking for a dish that's both delicious and healthy, this Ahi Tuna Ceviche is definitely one to try!
