Ingredients
  

1 cup brown rice

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained (preferably in olive oil)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chili flakes, or sliced radishes

Instructions
 

Cook the Brown Rice: Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with water (or broth) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

      Prep the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber and red onion. Place all the vegetables in a medium bowl.

        Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, drained tuna, and the diced vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.

          Serve: Divide the tuna and avocado mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and any optional toppings like sesame seeds, chili flakes, or sliced radishes for extra crunch and flavor. Enjoy immediately!
