Ingredients (for 2 people)
- 400 gr tuna
- 1 onion or spring onion
- 1 lemon
- 1 tomato

Start cutting the tuna in small cubes. Tuna will be cooked in the lemon juice instead of in fire. Chop an onion or spring onion. Grate a tomate, cut first it in half, and then grate until you get only with the skin. Finally chop and avocado, to do it, cut in half the avocado, separe 2 parts, nail the knife in the bone to remove it, and separe the pulp from the skin using a small spoon. It is important to chop the avocado at the end, to prevent it to be exposed to air too much time otherwise it will rust.

In a bowl add the tuna, chopped onion, choped avocado, juice of one lemon, half of grated tomato, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a bit of salt and optionally some grated ginger. Mix well, cover it with transparent film and let rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
