Healthy Tuna Avocado Rice Bowl

A quick, nourishing bowl featuring fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, and protein-packed tuna over rice. It is finished with a savory balsamic-sesame dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 portion cooked white rice
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 avocado
• 2 tbsp sweet corn
• 2 tbsp kimchi
• 1 can canned tuna
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp mushroom sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Slice and dice the cucumber

   

   Take a fresh cucumber, slice it lengthwise, and then cut it into small, uniform cubes on a cutting board to add a refreshing crunch to the rice bowl.

   Tip: Slice the cucumber lengthwise first to stabilize it on the board and prevent it from rolling around.
2. 2Halve the cherry tomatoes

   

   Take the fresh cherry tomatoes and carefully cut them in half on your cutting board, preparing them to be added to the rice bowl assembly.

   Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife or a small chefs knife to slice through tomatoes cleanly without squishing them.
3. 3Slice the avocado

   

   Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into thin, even segments ready for plating.

   Tip: Rub a little lemon or lime juice over the avocado slices to keep them from turning brown while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
4. 4Mix the dressing ingredients

   

   In a small mixing bowl, combine one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, two tablespoons of mushroom sauce, one tablespoon of sesame seeds, and one teaspoon of sea salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Measure your liquids carefully to ensure the dressing has a balanced sweet, savory, and tangy flavor profile.
5. 5Assemble the rice bowl

   

   Place a portion of cooked white rice at the bottom of your bowl. Carefully arrange the sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, diced cucumber, kimchi, and canned tuna in neat sections over the rice.

   Tip: Using a wide, shallow bowl gives you more surface area to beautifully display all the colorful ingredients.
6. 6Drizzle with dressing and serve

   

   Pour the well-whisked sesame balsamic dressing evenly over the assembled bowl. Mix everything together just before eating to ensure every bite is coated in the savory sauce.

   Tip: Taste the dressing before pouring; you can adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.
