Instructions
- Remove the skin and dark parts of the tuna, then cut it into fine cubes about 1 cm. Keep it in the fridge until serving.
- Thinly slice the red onion and rinse it under cold water to soften its bitterness. Drain it.
- In a bowl, mix the juice of the three limes, the salt, the finely chopped chili and the coconut oil.
- Add the tuna and onion, mix gently and marinate for 10 minutes in the cool, not exceeding 15 minutes so the flesh stays tender.
- Grate the flesh of the fresh coconut and scatter it over the salad just before serving.
- Arrange in small bowls and drizzle with a little of the marinade juice.
Variations and tips
Milder version. Replace the chili with a pinch of sweet paprika for a less spicy flavour.
